  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to this dish. If you can, use fresh thyme, rosemary, and sage for the best results.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook them until they are just cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per side.
  • Use a Good Quality Wild Rice: Wild rice can vary in quality, so be sure to use a good quality brand. Look for wild rice that is plump and has a nutty flavor.
  • Cook the Wild Rice According to Package Directions: Wild rice takes longer to cook than white rice, so be sure to follow the package directions carefully.
  • Let the Dish Rest: After you cook the chicken and wild rice, let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the rice to absorb the juices from the chicken.
