How To Make orange glazed chicken with wild rice and pecans

1
Cook rice according to package directions, using chicken broth instead of water.

2
While rice is cooking, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place chicken pieces on baking pan. Baste with 3 tablespoons of butter, and season with salt and pepper. Bake chicken for 25 to 30 minutes.
3
In a saucepan combine 1 tablespoon of butter, marmalade, and orange juice. Bring to a boil. Dissolve cornstarch in small amount of water. Slowly stir in enough of cornstarch mixture to thicken the butter/orange mixture. Add the pecans.
4
Place the cooked rice in a 9 X 13 inch casserole dish. Arrange the baked chicken on top of the rice. Pour the orange glaze over the chicken. Return to oven, and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until glaze begins to brown.
