• -(2) Medium organic boneless chicken breasts

1. -Combine olive oil, vinegar, and maple syrup in a small bowl, add herbs and whisk. Set aside.
2. -Preaheat oven to 350 F.
3. -Saute onions in medium saucepan with a splash of olive oil. I like to add a little brown sugar to sweeten the mix.
4. -When onions reach a nice golden brown, add in the mushrooms and pear.
5. -Keep this mixture moving with the heat on high and add in the orange juice.
6. -Let this mixture simmer for a minute or two while you slice the chicken breasts open. Cut them almost all the way through length-wise. Place them in a glass baking dish.
7. -Take a generous spoonfull of the onions, mushrooms, and pears and "stuff" your chicken breasts. Fold the tops back over and dump the rest of the mixture on top.
8. -Fill in the rest of the dish with the potatoes.
9. -Pour the liquid mixed earlier over the top of everything and place in the oven for about 35 minutes.
10. -Serve on a bed of spinach and enjoy.
