Roast chicken with pears and walnuts

The following is again a recipe I found in the magazine of the supermarket chain Pingo Doce. September /Octobee edition.
Confident that it would be as nice as the Pear salad, I got down to translate the ingredients.
To be honest the ingredients were kind of easy, the method took a little longer, between guessing and using the dictionary I managed to get the hang of it.

And the result was simply delicious.

So without further ado here are the ingredients:

Ingredients

3 to 4 Tbs virgin olive oil

1 ts salt

2 cloves of garlic ( crushed)

4 sprigs of thyme ( or 1 ts dried thyme)

4 chicken breasts or 4 chicken thighs or like in my case 1/2 a chicken

100 g red onion

15 g walnuts

2 Pears (Rocha if you can get them)

Method 

1 Preheat the oven to 200 C. Mix the oil, salt, garlic and thyme together and paste the chicken with that.

2 Put the chicken into an oven proof dish, add the onion, cut into slices. Roast the chicken for approx 30 min.

3 Add the pears cut into thin slices and roast for another 10 min. and add the walnuts at the same time as the pears. 

Depending on your oven temperature the times will be slightly longer or less.

I served the chicken with a savory rice (Put 1 to 2 Tbs oil in a frying pan ad some crushed cashew nuts, fry gently, before the nuts turn "beige" add cooked rice, then add one or two Tablespoons light Soya sauce. Mix all the ingredients for a minute until the rice is fully heated up).

You can of course use any other side dish of your choice.
