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!
EASY CHICKEN AND WILD RICE HOT DISH
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.

Steps:
- Put the rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse it under cold running water, swishing the rice with your hand until the water runs clear. Transfer the rice to a medium bowl and add water to cover. Pour off any black bits or floating kernels, pour the rice back into the sieve to drain, then put it in a small saucepan. Add 1 1/4 cups water, a pinch of salt and the bay leaf; bring to a simmer. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cook 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has evaporated. (If liquid remains after the rice is done, drain it in a sieve.)
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat the butter in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and celery and season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
- Add the flour to the vegetables and stir until well combined. Pour in the milk and bring to a simmer, whisking to prevent any lumps. Add the cream, chicken stock, thyme, nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Simmer over low heat until the floury taste dissipates, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked chicken, wild rice (minus the bay leaf) and half of the cheese and heat until the cheese melts.
- Put the crushed crackers in a heavy plastic bag and add 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the olive oil. Shake to combine and set aside.
- Rub a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of soft butter. Pour the chicken mixture into the dish and top with the remaining cheese. Bake 25 minutes.

A lot of wild rice is grown in our state, and every fall I drive up north to buy some from roadside stands. It always tastes so much better than the commercial brands in the store. This recipe is actually a combination of two recipes I received from friends. I've had many requests for it.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for organic, free-range chicken and wild rice whenever possible.

- Season the dish well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices to your liking.
- Let the dish rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb the sauce.
