Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Wild rice
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and starting to brown.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the wild rice. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer for 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
While the rice cooks, slice the chicken breasts into strips or bite-sized pieces.
Once the rice is cooked, stir in the unsalted butter and lemon juice for added flavor. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the rice mixture. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top.
Serve warm and enjoy your Chicken Sauté with Wild Rice!
