To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Marsala-Glazed Chicken:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

For the Wild Rice Pilaf:

- 1 cup wild rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup chopped carrot
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the Marsala wine and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in the butter until melted and smooth. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish.
Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through and the sauce is bubbly and glazed.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the wild rice pilaf. In a medium saucepan, combine the wild rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 45-50 minutes, until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrot and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Add the cooked wild rice to the skillet and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, spoon the wild rice pilaf onto plates and top with a Marsala-glazed chicken breast. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
This Marsala-Glazed Chicken and Wild Rice Pilaf is a perfect combination of savory and sweet flavors. The chicken is tender and juicy, with a rich and flavorful glaze. The wild rice pilaf is nutty and earthy, with a satisfying texture. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a cozy dinner at home.
