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 day-old bread (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a baking dish, combine onion, carrots, celery, wild rice, and chicken broth. Cover 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 to create the sauce.
  3. If using the bread topping, melt remaining butter and toss with cubed bread.
  4. Once the rice is cooked, remove from oven; add raw chicken pieces and creamy sauce to the dish. Stir to combine and arrange buttered bread cubes on top.
  5. Increase oven temperature to 450°F and bake uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through (165°F) and bread cubes are golden brown.
