2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided |
1/2 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
3 cups thinly sliced leek (about 1 1/2 pounds) |

3 1/2 cups cooked, chilled long-grain brown rice |
1 cup dried cranberries |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage |
1/4 cup dry white wine |
