Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cook wild rice + ¼ teaspoon and ⅛ teaspoon salt in a large pot of boiling water according to the cooking instructions on the package (usually, wild rice cooks about 45 minutes, so plan accordingly).
  • When wild rice is almost cooked, heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add minced garlic, finely grated carrots, and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute, until carrots start to soften.
  • Add chopped chicken, sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper, and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Add 1 cup green peas (I used the frozen ones). You can add them either frozen or thawed. Stir them in and mix with chicken-carrot mixture.
  • When the wild rice is done, add cooked wild rice to the skillet with the chicken and mix everything.
  • Add 1 cup half and half, ⅓ cup chicken broth to the skillet with the chicken and rice and bring to boil. Add ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese. Stir, until the cheese has melted, on medium-low heat. Taste and add more salt if needed, about ⅛ teaspoon or ¼ teaspoon more.

Notes

What is HALF & HALF? Half and half is the US milk product that combines half milk half cream to form a lighter cream unlike heavy cream. To make 1 cup of half and half, combine ½ cup milk and ½ cup heavy cream or whipping cream.
