Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Wild Rice

    Rinse 1 cup of wild rice under cold water. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice with 3 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes or until the rice is tender and the grains have split. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    While the rice is cooking, shred the roasted chicken into bite-sized pieces. Ensure there are no bones or skin remaining. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cucumbers

    Wash and dice the cucumber into small cubes. Set aside in a bowl.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked wild rice, shredded chicken, and diced cucumbers. Gently mix until all ingredients are well combined.

  5. 5

    Add Dressing

    Pour 1 cup of green goddess ranch dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.

  6. 6

    Serve with Parmesan Crisps

    Plate the ranchy chicken and rice mixture in bowls and top each serving with a generous handful of parmesan crisps for added crunch and flavor.
