    This isn't a sweet dish. But the maple has a warm flavor that it imparts on the chicken, which melds well with the pear pilaf.

      I made this meal the other night for my husband and I. It was very easy to make and the rice went amazingly well with the chicken. I had never had wild rice before and will definitely be incorporating that into our regular meals from now on.
      The only downside to this recipe was that my husband does not like sweet stuff and the pears made the rice a little on the sweet side. Next time, I will make it without the pears, but we loved it!
