Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 5 carrots, chopped
  • 5 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 lb chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
  • 10 tbsp butter, divided
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp poultry seasoning
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3–4 cups cubed bread (sturdy, dry bread preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large baking dish, combine onion, carrots, celery, wild rice, and chicken broth. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  2. While the rice cooks, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour, salt, and poultry seasoning; cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth.
  3. Melt the remaining butter and toss with cubed bread (optional). Once the rice is cooked, remove from the oven and add raw chicken pieces along with the creamy sauce. Mix well and top with buttered bread cubes.
  4. Increase oven temperature to 450°F and bake uncovered for an additional 20–30 minutes until chicken is thoroughly cooked (165°F) and bread cubes are golden brown.
  5. Let rest briefly before serving.
