4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth, divided |
1 (2.75-ounce) package quick-cooking wild rice (such as gourmet house) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/2 cup prechopped onion |
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper |
1/3 cup matchstick-cut carrots |
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 teaspoon butter |
2 (4-ounce) packages presliced exotic mushroom blend (such as shiitake, cremini, and oyster) |
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Bring 1 1/3 cups broth to a boil in a medium saucepan; add rice to pan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and next 4 ingredients (through thyme) to pan; sauté 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in butter and mushrooms; sauté 3 minutes or until lightly browned.
