1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup wild rice
2 medium carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
Start by dicing your vegetables: carrots, celery, and onion. Mince the garlic and set everything aside.
In your slow cooker, add the diced chicken breasts first, then layer on the wild rice, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic.
Pour the chicken broth over the layered ingredients, followed by the thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, and the rice is tender.
About 30 minutes before serving, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker.
Pour in the heavy cream, mixing well to incorporate. Allow it to heat through for the remaining 30 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
