Ingredients
- 6 cups unsalted chicken broth
- 2 cups chopped onion
- 1 ½ cups chopped carrot
- 1 ¼ cups uncooked wild rice
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 (8 ounce) package sliced white mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 pounds bone-in chicken breast halves
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 cups 2% milk
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste (Optional)
Instructions
- Stir chicken broth, onion, carrot, rice, celery, mushrooms, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a 6-quart slow cooker. Nestle in chicken, thyme, and bay leaves.
- Cover and cook on Low until chicken and wild rice are tender, about 7 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone of each breast should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Remove chicken from the slow cooker. Increase heat to High. Discard chicken bones and shred meat; set aside. Discard thyme sprigs and bay leaves.
- Whisk milk and flour together in a medium bowl. Stir into slow cooker and cook on High until thickened, about 10 minutes. Gently stir in chicken. Garnish with parsley.
- You can use Fairlife(R) milk to add more protein.
- For efficiency, chop the veggies the night before, and put everything in the slow cooker in the morning so it cooks all day when you’re at work. Just a little advanced planning makes it possible to be busy and balance a healthy lifestyle.

Loved the texture but it was so bland!
This was yummy. I too added more seasoned salt, garlic powder and black pepper. I subbed 2Cs heavy cream and a cup of water for the milk and corn starch. A make again.
Really good! My whole family loved it. My only recommendation is to season to taste. I felt like it could have used more salt, pepper, and garlic (for my personal preference).
