PAN-SEARED CHICKEN WITH PEAR SLAW

Steps:

• Brown the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the canola oil. Arrange the chicken on a tray in a single layer, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, use a pair of metal tongs to carefully add the pieces, skin-side down, to the oil. Do not overcrowd the skillet. Allow them to sear, flipping every 2 to 3 minutes, until the chicken is browned and an internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes total.
• Make the dressing: Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rice wine vinegar, sugar, cumin, coriander and garlic with a generous pinch of salt.
• Prepare the slaw: Stir the pears and celery into the dressing and toss to completely coat. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Serve: Arrange the chicken breasts on a platter (or individual plates) and top with the slaw.
