Talk about a perfect pearing! In this divine dinner, slices of crisp sweet fruit are a counterpoint for sharp Dijon mustard. You’ll pan-cook chicken breasts in a shower of oregano-forward seasonings, until they’re ready to be cut into succulent slices—and a touch of that Dijon sauce elevates every mouthful. Call in all sorts of crunch as you toss the pear with string peas, baby greens and pepitas for a superb side salad.

Preparation
Cook the chicken
Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P. In a medium pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium. Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan. Let rest for 5 min. before thinly slicing against the grain.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, juice the lemon. Thinly slice the string peas crosswise on an angle. Core and thinly slice the pear. In a large bowl, whisk the lemon juice (start with ½), ½ the mustard and 4 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions). Add the baby greens, string peas, pear, pepitas, remaining spices and S&P; toss well.
Make the sauce
Heat the reserved pan on medium. Add the demi-glace, remaining mustard and ⅓ cup water (double for 4 portions). Cook, scraping up any browned bits, 2 to 3 min., until slightly thickened.
Plate your dish
Divide the chicken and salad between your plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Bon appétit!
