Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup uncooked wild rice blend
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Add Ingredients to Crockpot: Place chicken breasts, wild rice blend, carrots, celery, onion, minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried parsley into a 6-quart or larger crockpot.
  2. Step 2: Add Broth and Seasoning: Pour in the chicken broth. Season generously with salt and black pepper (start with 1 teaspoon of each).
  3. Step 3: Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours, or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds, and the wild rice is tender.
  4. Step 4: Shred Chicken: Carefully remove the cooked chicken breasts from the crockpot and place them on a cutting board. Shred the chicken using two forks.
  5. Step 5: Make Cream Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and all-purpose flour until smooth. This is your thickener!
  6. Step 6: Combine and Thicken: Stir the shredded chicken back into the soup in the crockpot. Pour the cream and flour mixture into the soup, stirring well to combine.
  7. Step 7: Final Cook: Continue to cook on HIGH for another 20-30 minutes, or until the soup has thickened slightly and is thoroughly heated.
  8. Step 8: Serve: Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
