Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium white onion chopped
  • 3 carrots chopped
  • 3 celery stalks chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 cup wild rice uncooked, rinsed and drained
  • 2 chicken breasts large, boneless, skinless (about 1 pound)
  • 8 cups chicken broth low-sodium

Instructions
 

  • Chop the onion, carrots, and celery. Mince the garlic.
  • In a large slow cooker, stir together the onions, celery, carrots, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, pepper, and wild rice.
  • Layer the chicken on top of the rice and veggie mixture. Pour the broth on top.
  • Place the lid on top. Cook on high for 3½ hours or on low for 6½ hours. Chicken is more tender and easier to shred when cooked on low.
  • Prior to serving, shred the chicken with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  • Remove bay leaves. Enjoy!
