SHEET-PAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH PEARS AND ARUGULA
In this hearty sheet-pan meal, thick pear wedges and chicken thighs seasoned with earthy, warming spices are roasted until soft and tender. During the last five minutes, crunchy sunflower seeds are scattered on the pan to sizzle in the pan juices, gaining a salty flavor that balances out the sweetness of the pears. A final topping of arugula soaks up any lingering juices and turns this into a full-on meal. Using firm, not-quite-ripe pears prevents them from becoming mushy and falling apart during the cooking process. Swap baby spinach for the arugula and sherry vinegar for the lemon juice, depending on what you have on hand. Serve any leftovers on a bed of fresh arugula, dressed with lemon and olive oil.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees with a rack in the center.
- Pat the chicken dry and trim excess fat and skin. Sprinkle all over with 2 teaspoons salt, and season with pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the red-pepper flakes, cumin, coriander, ginger and oil. On a sheet pan, rub the chicken and pears all over with the mixture. Arrange chicken skin-side up and pears skin-side down. Cook until the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees at the thickest part) and the pears are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. During the last 5 minutes, add the sunflower seeds to the pan. If there's a lot of fat when finished cooking, tilt the pan and spoon it off until there's a light coating on the surface of the pan.
- Scatter the arugula on top, and squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with herbs, if using. Cut the remaining lemon half in quarters and serve.
GINGER-PEAR SAUCE
Steps:
- Combine the pears, ginger and sugar in a large pot over low heat, stirring frequently until the sugar melts and the pear juices begin to accumulate. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until pears are soft, about 45 minutes. Pass the pear mixture through a food mill and place in a clean saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until reduced to 8 cups, about 1 hour. Refrigerate in an airtight container.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ginger and pears will give your dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts are very easy to overcook, so be careful not to cook them for too long. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Use a good quality soy sauce: Soy sauce is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is made with natural ingredients and has a rich, savory flavor.
- Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will be most tender and flavorful when it is hot off the stove.
Conclusion:
Ginger pear chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of ginger, pear, and soy sauce creates a flavorful sauce that is perfect for chicken. This dish is also healthy and can be made with a variety of different vegetables. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give ginger pear chicken a try.
