Achieving the perfect balance of sweet and savory can create a complementary flavor combination that allows both elements to shine. This recipe, created by Gina Homolka of Skinnytaste exclusively for Harry & David, does just that by adding one of our juicy Royal Riviera® Pears to stuffed chicken. The delicious result is a hearty dish that also includes rich Brie cheese with a touch of peppery arugula and sage.
