  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 carrots, small diced
  • 1 yellow onion, small diced
  • 4 stalks celery, small diced
  • ½ lb cremini mushroom, sliced
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups grated parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried parsley, and olive oil. Toss until well coated.
  • In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the chicken and cook until it’s golden brown on one side, then flip, and cook the other side, about10 minutes total. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  • To the pan, add the butter, carrots, onions, celery, mushrooms, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, stir, and cook until the veggies are soft. Scoop out and set aside.
  • Add the wild rice and the chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook the rice for 45 minutes, or until tender.
  • Once the rice is cooked, stir in the Parmesan, vegetables, heavy cream, and fresh thyme. Bring to a boil. Stir in the sour cream.
  • Add the chicken back to the pan.
  • Serve the chicken over the rice and garnish with grated Parmesan and fresh parsley.
  • Enjoy!
