Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the diced shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the sliced Bosc pears to the skillet and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until slightly caramelized.
Pour in the ruby port wine and chicken stock. Add the rosemary sprigs to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the pears and sauce. Cover and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Remove the rosemary sprigs from the skillet and stir in the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Plate the chicken and spoon the pears and rosemary wine sauce over the top. Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted potatoes or steamed vegetables.
