EASY CHICKEN AND WILD RICE HOT DISH



Easy Chicken and Wild Rice Hot Dish image

The original recipe was prepared by Amy Thielen, in the October issue of Food Network magazine. I have substituted some ingredients due to unavailability and high cost. Green onions for leeks, evaporated milk and water for whole milk, sour cream for fresh cream and Rice a Roni Long Grain & Wild Rice for natural wild rice. This substitution saves time.

CHICKEN WILD RICE HOTDISH



Chicken Wild Rice Hotdish image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup wild rice, rinsed and drained
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 sleeves butter crackers, such as Townhouse, crushed (approximately 2 cups)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 rotisserie chicken, meat shredded (about 4 cups)
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Ketchup, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the wild rice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 2 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until al dente, about 30 minutes. Drain the rice and set it aside.
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion and a pinch of salt and cook until the vegetables are softened, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Mix together the chicken stock and cream in a measuring cup. Add a third of the stock mixture to the pot and cook until thickened slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in another third of the mixture and cook another minute or two. Add the remaining third and cook until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. The soup should coat the back of a spoon. Add the rosemary, black pepper and salt to taste. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
  • Mix the butter crackers and olive oil in a bowl. Set aside.
  • In a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish, spread a third of the soup on the bottom of the dish. Spread half of the rice on top of the soup and follow with half of the shredded chicken spread across the rice. Repeat the layers, then top with the remaining third of the soup mixture. Top with the butter cracker mixture. Bake until bubbly, about 45 minutes. If the cracker topping is getting too browned, cover with foil.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with ketchup on the side!
