INGREDIENTS

1 cup uncooked wild rice
1 pound chicken breasts
2 cups mirepoix (chopped celery, carrots, and onions)
6 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup flour
2 cups whole milk
a few tablespoons white wine (optional)
up to 2 cups additional milk or water

INSTRUCTIONS

Rinse the wild rice. Place the uncooked wild rice, raw chicken, mirepoix, chicken broth, and poultry seasoning in a crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours. The chicken should be cooked through and the rice should be soft. There will be extra liquid in the crockpot; do not drain.
Remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and allow to cool slightly. Using two forks, shred the chicken. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
When rice and chicken are done cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the flour and let the mixture bubble for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the whole milk until a thick, creamy mixture forms. Stir in the wine.
Add this to the rice and chicken in the crockpot and stir to combine. Add extra water or milk to adjust the consistency as you like it. Season with additional salt and pepper.

A sweet and tangy sauce perfect for dipping, drizzling and dunking your favorite bites.


Ingredients

1 tbsp cornstarch
¼ cup water
½ cup cider vinegar
½ cup light brown sugar packed
¼ cup ketchup
1 tbsp soy sauce


Instructions

Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Whisk to combine.
As it starts heating up, keep whisking constantly until it thickens into a sauce consistency. It will thicken as it cools. Adjust sweet with sugar, tang with vinegar, saltiness with salt to taste.


Notes
Store for a week in an airtight container. You may need to add a touch of cider vinegar after a few days as the tanginess does fade.
Serving size 1 tablespoon.
