Baked chicken thigh: olive oil or butter, cardamom, cinnamon, allspice, curry, tumeric, bell peppers and mozzarella cheese. Season chicken both sides, throw everything in baking dish (except cheese), I bake bone in thighs about around 400 for 50-60 minutes, top with cheese last few minutes. House smells amazing with these seasonings.

Baked Chicken Breasts with Pears
Serves: 6
Ingredients
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves; (about 1 1/2 pounds)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup apple juice
2 medium firm-ripe pears
Parsley sprigs
Salt and pepper, to taste
Rinse chicken and pat dry; then arrange, skinned side up, in a 9- by 13-inch baking pan. Drizzle evenly with soy sauce.
Bake, uncovered, in a 450 degree oven, basting occasionally, until meat in thickest part is no longer pink; cut to test (about 20 minutes).
Meanwhile, place cornstarch in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart pan; smoothly stir in apple juice.
Peel and core pears, then cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Add pears to pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, mixing gently. Then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until pears are tender when pierced (about 5 minutes).
When chicken is done, add pear mixture to baking pan; gently shake pan to mix pears and chicken. Transfer chicken, pears, and sauce to a platter and garnish with parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
