Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Large pot
  • Chopping board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the wild rice to the pot and stir to coat with the onion and garlic mixture. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the rice simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
  5. While the rice is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
  6. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.
  7. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and transfer it to the baking dish with the chicken. Mix the rice and chicken together.
  8. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is crispy and the chicken is golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Enjoy!

Notes

For added flavor, you can use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. You can also add some chopped vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or bell peppers, to the baking dish for a more colorful and nutritious meal.

Recipe Tips

To save time, you can use pre-cooked wild rice that's available in most grocery stores. You can also use a rice cooker to cook the wild rice, which makes the process even easier. Make sure to season the rice well with salt and pepper, as this will enhance its flavor. Finally, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute and keep it moist and tender. Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
