Ingredients
Chicken Breast, no skin, 16 ounces Chicken Broth, 4 (8 fl oz) *Flour, white, 1 cup Onions, raw, 1 small Peas and carrots, frozen, 1 cup Mushrooms, fresh, 1 cup, pieces or slices Butter, unsalted, 3 tbspSalt, 1 dash Pepper, black, 1 tsp Thyme, fresh, 3 Springs wholeThyme, ground, 1 tbsp Wild Rice, 3 cup Garlic, 1 clove
Start with your chicken. Cut it up into bite size pieces. Take all but 6 TBSP of flour and cover your chicken pieces. Set the 6TBSP's aside. You will use them in different parts.
Heat your skillet over med. heat. Add butter. When butter has melted, add chicken. Cook until the outside is starting to brown. Add seasonings(if using fresh Thyme then use 3 sprigs whole), garlic, salt and pepper.(you may need more salt and pepper depending on personal taste. You can also use seasoned salt for a more sodium free meal).
Add 2 cups of broth and mix. Add vegtables and pearl or a small onion diced.(Make sure you clean your mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth and slice them before adding)
Cook for 10 minutes.
Mix remaining broth and remaing flour(4tbsp) and add to pan. Stir and cook an additional 5 minutes and turn off heat.
Cook rice to package instructions. If it is not quick cooking or instant rice you might want to start your rice at the same time as your stew. Spoon cooked rice into a dish and pour stew mixture over the top.
PS-I use low sodium and Organic Chicken broth but if organic isn't in your price range or unavailable, you can use just the regular low sodium or make your own broth!
