This delicious and homey one dish meal is very rich and easy. I love how the wild rice cooks in the crockpot, absorbing the flavors of the other ingredients.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 8 hours
Ingredients:
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 14 oz. can condensed chicken broth
- 1-1/3 cups water
- 10 oz. can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 9 oz. bag baby carrots
- 1-1/4 cups wild rice
- 1-1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces
- 1/4 tsp. dried marjoram
Preparation:
In large skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon, crumble and refrigerate. Remove all but 1 tablespoon bacon drippings from skillet. Add onion and garlic to skillet and cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Stir in broth, water, and condensed soup; cook and stir until bubbly, 3-4 minutes. Place wild rice and carrots in 3-4 quart crockpot. Top with chicken pieces and pour mixture in skillet over chicken. Sprinkle with marjoram. Cover crockpot and cook on HIGH for 1 hour. Stir mixture, making sure wild rice is submerged in liquid. Reduce crockpot setting to LOW and cook, covered, for 6-8 hours until chicken is thoroughly cooked and wild rice is tender. Sprinkle reserved bacon into crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking time. 6 servings
