One Pot Creamy Chicken and Rice

Does anyone else not know what to do with wild rice?

When I see the container of wild rice on the shelf in my pantry, I think two things: 1) I must have thought I was cooking for a fancier family than mine that would actually eat that, and 2) I don’t really feel like making/eating rice pilaf right now.

Seriously, rice pilaf is the only thing that comes to mind with this ingredient. However, with not wanting to go to the grocery store as often, I was forced, ahem, I mean excited to try something new to make with the ingredients I already had on hand.

And that’s how this creamy chicken and rice dish came about. It’s got wild rice, rotisserie chicken, and mushroom soup in it and the best part – it all cooks together in one pot!

Let the cooking begin!
