This Chicken, Mushroom & Wild Rice Recipe Will Have You Going Back For Seconds & Thirds!

Here's all of the information you'll need to try this recipe for yourself. Trust me… No matter what the occasion this recipe is a great idea to have. Besides… all of the ingredients are light.

Ingredients to Gather:

1 ounce dried morel mushrooms (or substitute other dried mushrooms)

4 tablespoons Organic Valley Butter

1 cup finely chopped onion

1⁄4 cup flour

1 1⁄2 cups chicken stock

1 cup Organic Valley Half & Half (or Heavy Cream)

salt & pepper to taste

2-3 cups Organic Prairie Chicken Breast, cooked, cut into chunks

4 cups wild rice, cooked, than measured

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

3-4 tablespoons Organic Valley Shredded Parmesan (optional)

Directions to Follow:

Start by softening the mushrooms with boiling water and then chopping them into small pieces. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the onions and then stir in the mushrooms. Turn the heat down to low, cover the vegetables with flour, and then cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Mix the chicken stock and cream separately and microwave for between 3 and 4 minutes. Add this to the vegetables and simmer the entire mixture and then add salt and paper to taste.

Now, you're ready for the final touches:

4. Combine vegetable mixture with chicken, wild rice, parsley and thyme. Add more salt and pepper, if needed. Spread mixture in a buttered casserole dish. It can be covered and refrigerated at this point or baked immediately.

5. Bake at 350 degrees until heated through, 35-45 minutes. If you’re using Parmesan, sprinkle it over the hot dish after the first 20 minutes of baking time.
