The idea of cooking a meal of chicken breasts stuffed with wild rice may seem like a daunting one that would consume all free time in the evening and leave you with a brand new source of stress to come home to after you have already had a long day. However, this recipe shows that can actually be a very economical and minimalist way of cooking a meal that is anything but. Wild, savory, delicious, and a brand new sort of dish, the wild rice stuffed chicken breast betrays its very name and essence by being a meal that is extremely simple to cook.
To prepare the chicken, you only have to whip it up in a similar manner that you would make any other chicken breast. You pound it and season it after splitting the chicken breast in half, which will come into play later, of course. Additionally, the preparation of the rice is similar to any other rice dish that you would prepare as you combine all of the ingredients into a bowl, preparing yourself to thoroughly and completely mix it together until it has a delicious menagerie of tastes, all in one bite.
The unconventional aspect of the dinner comes when you combine the wild rice into the general make-up of the chicken breasts, but it is just a simple spooning. After that, the meal should not take more than fifteen minutes to complete and before you know it, you will have a delicious meal begging to be eaten as its enticing aroma fills your kitchen.
