Rosemary Chicken with Wild Rice

Makes 6 servings

1 cup wild rice
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1.25 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast, cubed
2 carrots, diced (optional...at least to me)
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary or 1 tbsp dried
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp orange marmalade
1/4 cup dijon mustard
1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper

1. Cook the wild rice according to package directions

2. In large non-stick skillet heat olive oil over medium heat. Add in garlic and saute until golden (~2 mins). Add in chicken and carrots and saute, stirring frequently. Stir in rosemary. Cook until chicken is cooked through.

3. Stir in marmalade, mustard and pepper. Cook until heated through. Add the rice, toss to combine.

*I tried this one tonight...minus the carrots of course. Probably a 6/10. The orange and mustard were an interesting compliment to one another. Tangy and sweet.
