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
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and starting to brown.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
While the rice cooks, slice the chicken breasts into strips or bite-sized pieces.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the rice mixture. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your Chicken Sauté with Wild Rice!
