Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Wild Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of wild rice with 4 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    While the rice is cooking, in a separate pot, add the chicken breasts and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot, let it cool slightly, and then shred it into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are softened. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Combine Ingredients

  1. 4

    Mix the Creamy Component

    In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.

  2. 5

    Combine Everything

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked wild rice, shredded chicken, and sautéed vegetables. Pour the creamy mixture over the top and gently stir until everything is well combined.

Serve

  1. 6

    Garnish and Chill

    Transfer the creamy chicken wild rice mixture to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving cold.
