Slow Cooker Chicken Stew with Wild Rice
Ingredients
- 6 cups unsalted chicken broth
- 2 cups chopped onion
- 1.5 cups chopped carrot
- 1.25 cups uncooked wild rice
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 (8 ounce) package sliced white mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 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
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
Steps
- 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.
