Clean Eating Chicken Stuffed Pears

 

I'll admit - mine didn't turn out quite as pretty as these from The Gracious Pantry, but they were so delicious!  We made them for dinner one night, and I used the leftovers the next day for lunch.

 

Yields: 4 servings

Ingredients:

12.5 oz home cooked, shredded chicken (or can chicken)
1.5 teaspoons fresh, chopped rosemary
2 tablespoons juice sweetened, dried cranberries
¼ cup walnut pieces
2 large, perfectly ripe pears

Directions:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chicken, rosemary, cranberries and walnut pieces
2. Cut your pears in half and scoop out JUST the seeds and middle section, being sure to leave as much of the flesh in tact as possible.
3. Now scoop out some of the flesh from the pears and add that to the chicken as well. Leave at least 1/4 - 1/3 inch thickness in the pear halves.
4. Stir until well combined
5. Fill the pear halves with chicken salad and serve.
