Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked wild rice blend
  • 1 lb. chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup onions (chopped)
  • 3/4 cup celery (chopped)
  • 3/4 cup carrots (chopped)

  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 5 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low fat milk

Instructions

  • Rinse the rice under running water. Place the uncooked rice, chicken breast, onions celery, carrots, garlic, bay leaves, chicken broth, water and seasonings in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 7-8.
