Wild Rice Stuffed Chicken Breasts
- 1 ⅓ cup Chicken Broth
- ⅓ cup Wild Rice
- ⅓ 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
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.
