The best part is that it looks like you spent all day cooking, but is really easy to make (don't even have to chop anything).” Chicken Marbella Tips Reviewers say they love serving this Chicken Marbella over white rice, which absorbs all those delicious juices. It would also pair well with homemade crusty bread. Store your Chicken Marbella leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Choose a dry white wine, such as sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio. Remember: If you wouldn’t enjoy sipping the wine from a glass, it probably won’t taste very good in your recipe.
