Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Wildrice

This is one meal I’d opt to prepare as it takes like 10 minutes to put it all together although it takes about 4-6 hours to cook in a Crockpot/SlowCooker or about 1¼ – 1½ in the oven …. what you see here is cooked in a Crockpot/SlowCooker 😉

… I used 1 cup of wild & whole grain brown rice which serves 2 pax …you can use a pack of 454g for between 4 – 6 pax servings …rinse rice, drain and set aside ..

…this is optional … I added 50g of button mushrooms, sliced ….

…..if not for a fact that our fur-babies would enjoy sharing this dish with us, I would have added a small chopped onions but I omitted the onions for our fur-babies’ sake and added 3 cloves of chopped garlic instead …

IMG_5826 Allocate 1 chicken breast per person … season with some salt & pepper and then brown in a heated pan of either Canola Oil or butter … lift browned chicken breasts out of pan and set aside ..

…in the same pan, toss in the sliced mushrooms & garlic and sauté for couple minutes then add in the world rice and sauté for further minute …

…..pour rice & mushroom mixture into a oven-safe casserole dish ….

….I’m using a 450 mil (500g) bottle of Rich & Creamy Mushroom Sauce (with cream & parsley) ….you may use a can of 454g Cream of Mushroom Soup or make your own cream or mushroom sauce/soup …pour this into the casserole and stir to mix the wild rice & mushroom mixture …

…I added 50ml of home-made chicken stock … remember now, this receipe serves 2 pax ….if you are cooking for 4 – 6 please remember to increase all ingredients accordingly …if you use a pack of 454g wild rice (serves 4 – 6 pax), you may still use a can or bottle of the creamy mushroom sauce/soup but increase the chicken stock to 100 to 150 ml …

…return browned chicken breast into the pot and immerse into the creamy mixture … and bake, covered, in a preheated oven of 200°C for about 1 hour or until the wild rice are tender ….longer if you are making a bigger pot serving more pax than 2

….and, dinner is served … this, I cooked in the oven … a very tasty & wholesome meal ❤
