3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus oil for brushing
1 cup whole wheat spelt berries
Four 6- to 7-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1 lemon
2 firm, but ripe eating pears such as Anjou, Bartlett or Comice, cored

  • Divide the salad and chicken evenly among four plates. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the Gruyere or Gouda cheese over each plate. Serve.
