Ingredients

  • 1/2 cups Wild Rice (uncooked)
  • 1/2 cups Garden Harvest Blend Rice
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Onion
  • 1/4 cups Flour
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup Cooked, Cubed Chicken, Ham Or Pheasant
  • 1 can (Small 4 Oz. Can) Sliced Mushrooms
  • Slivered Almonds, To Taste
  • 1/4 teaspoons Salt
  • 1-1/2 cup Half-and-half
  • 2 Tablespoons Dry Sherry (Optional, But You Should Try It)

Method

  • Cook the rice according to the package directions (I cook both kinds of rice together in one pot and use chicken broth instead of water to cook the rice.) In a medium saucepan, saute onions in butter until tender. Blend in flour. Gradually add broth, stirring constantly until mixture slightly thickens. Stir in rice, chicken, mushrooms, almonds and salt. Simmer for 5 minutes. Blend in half-and-half and sherry. Heat to desired temperature. Serves 6-8.
  • The Garden Harvest Blend rice is getting hard to find. It is a combination of long grain rice, wild rice and dried vegetables. If you can't find it, you may want to use Uncle Ben's wild rice-long grain rice blend instead.
