Ingredients

1 lb Brussels sprouts

2 ripe pears
1/2 cup pecans
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Method

1
Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
3
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels; rub with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper on both sides.
4
Place the chicken in the skillet; cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and let it cool.
5
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts, remove the outer leaves, halve them, and thinly slice. Place in a large salad bowl.

Add the pecans to the skillet and toast over medium heat until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
7
In the same skillet, add the Brussels sprouts; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to the salad bowl.
8
Core the pears and cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Add to the salad bowl along with the toasted pecans and dried cherries.
9
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and remaining salt and pepper to create the dressing.
10
Cut the cooled chicken into 3/4-inch cubes and add to the salad bowl.
