Crockpot Chicken Wild Rice Casserole

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

Total Time: 8 hours, 15 minutes

Yield: 6 servings

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.

Delicious and so easy, Guest Chris

My family loves this recipe. The kids ask for it at least once a week. It's so easy and so good. I add more marjoram and also some oregano, and stir some more dried herbs in just before I serve it. I use chicken broth instead of the water for even more flavor!
