Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup wild rice blend
  • 2.5 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the wild rice blend and cook for 1 minute, then pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 25 minutes.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the rice. Cover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook uncovered for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
