Bartlett pears in season give this pilaf a fresh and tasty twist. Maple syrup, brushed onto chicken straight from the oven, brings the flavors of the crispy baked chicken and sweet pilaf together.

Method
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place chicken in a roasting pan or on a rimmed baking sheet.
Coat with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, sprinkle with pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt; bake until cooked through, about 45 minutes.
Remove from oven and brush with maple syrup.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat remaining 2 tsp olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add onion, celery and garlic and cook until golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in rice and broth; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 35 minutes.
Stir in pears, thyme and remaining salt and continue to cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
Serve rice with chicken.
