Sunday afternoon dinner of fresh lemon green beans, creamy chicken and wild rice casserole, garlic toast and fresh garden salad. Ooh, don't forget the lemonade!
RECIPE FOR CREAMY CHICKEN AND WILD RICE
~courtesy of my cousin~
3 boxes Uncle Ben's Wild Rice (original) or substitute 3 c. long grain white rice
1 stick of butter
2-3 c. veggie or chicken broth thickened with flour
1 quart half & half (I use fat free)
Cook rice according to box directions in a large stock pot. Once it is finished, combine butter, rice, half & half and stir until butter is melted. In separate pan bring broth to a boil and add flour water paste to broth until it thickens like a gravy. Add to the rice mixture until it is a creamy consistancy. Not like a soup!
This makes A LOT! It does freeze well!
