Equipment

  • Rice Cooker

Ingredients

Wild Rice Stuffed Chicken Breasts

  • 1 ⅓ cup Chicken Broth
  • cup Wild Rice
  • cup chopped Kielbasa
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 2 Large boneless skinless chicken breasts

Chive Cream Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Chicken Broth Concentrate
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup Heavy cream
  • ¼ cup Sour cream
  • 2 tablespoon Finely chopped fresh chives
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • Ahead of time, combine chicken broth, wild rice, and chopped Kielbasa in a rice cooker. Cook until rice is done.
  • Remove rice from heat, fluff with a fork and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside, or chill for later use.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Trim chicken breast, if necessary. Pat dry with paper towels, and season on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into the thickest part of the chicken, about ¾ of the way through to the other side.
  • Stuff both chicken breasts with wild rice mixture. If necessary/desired, use tooth picks to secure the opening of the pocket closed.
  • Bake chicken for 35-40 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 F. (Time will depend on the size of chicken breasts used)
  • As the chicken is cooking, make the sauce:

Chive Cream Sauce

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter.
  • Whisk in chicken broth concentrate and Dijon mustard until smooth. Add heavy cream, stirring well to combine.
  • Bring mixture to a simmer, allow to gently simmer for 10 minutes or so, until slightly thickened.
  • Add sour cream, whisk well until smooth. Add chives, stir well to combine, then season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Allow to heat through, keep warm until serving.
