    1 tbsp. smoked paprika
    1 tbsp. Hy-Vee ground cumin
    2 tsp. Hy-Vee garlic powder
    2 tsp. kosher salt
    ½ tsp. Hy-Vee ground black pepper
    1 lbs. fresh pears, such as: Bosc, Concorde, Forelle, or Seckel, cored and cut into wedges

    Things To Grab

    • Small bowl
    • Large rimmed sheet pan
    • Meat thermometer
    • 6 serving plates

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Stir together paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; set aside.

    2. Add pears, potatoes, and carrots to a large rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with 1/3 spice mixture, tossing to coat. Arrange pears and vegetables in an even layer. Rub chicken thighs with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with remaining spice mixture. Place chicken thighs over pears and vegetables. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 to 170 degrees. 

    3. Transfer chicken thighs to a platter and tent with foil. Preheat oven to broil on HIGH. Place sheet pan 6-inches below heat and broil until pears and vegetables are lightly browned and caramelized, about 5 minutes.

    4. Divide pears and vegetables among serving plates. Top with cooked chicken thighs. Garnish with sour cream and fresh cilantro, if desired.
