unbelevably bland; do this: double the salt and pepper on the chicken. add (to chicken) white cooking wine and hot sauce. to pear sauce, add small amount of white wine and hot sauce. boil pears in wine, hot sauce, chicken broth and honey for a few minutes, then mash pears (essentially make a rue). spoon over chicken in a casserole dish and bake for 15-20 minutes. yum.

absolutely fantastic pie; very easy as well. i used asian pears off my neighbor's tree and only needed to cook the pie for 50 minutes (35 w/out topping, 15 with) and it turned out perfect. (i foiled the crust edges after 15 minutes.) i did end up with extra topping, though not enough to halve the recipe. i think 3/4 would be sufficient, but i don't know that it would be worth the trouble of using such strange measurements. i will definitely make this one again.
