Pear and Pepper Chutney

Roast chicken is one of my favorite meals but it needs a little help sometimes. You don’t want to get bored while eating healthy. I made this Pear and Pepper Chutney to jazz up my roast chicken dinner.

I start with my simple and delicious roast chicken recipe. I usually roast two chickens on the weekend and serve one with this chutney. Here’s the recipe for my roast chicken

I make some chicken fat smashed potatoes to go with it too. Here’s the recipe

Make the pear and pepper chutney when the chicken and potatoes are nearly finished roasting. Just caramelize sliced red onion in some grapeseed or canola oil, toss in peppers, garlic and pears then deglaze with apple cider vinegar and drizzle with honey. Add a little hot red pepper flake if you want to spice things up. This is great on chicken but would be fantastic on ham as well.
