Step-by-Step Instructions
- Lightly coat a 5-quart or larger slow cooker with nonstick spray.
- In a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat, warm about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add diced carrots, celery, potato, and onion, stirring occasionally for 8–10 minutes until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
- Stir in the poultry seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper, cooking for an additional 30 seconds before transferring the mixture to the slow cooker.
- Rinse the wild rice thoroughly under cold water, then add it directly to the slow cooker with the sautéed vegetables.
- Arrange the trimmed boneless skinless chicken breasts on top of the wild rice and vegetable mixture. Pour in 4 cups of low-sodium chicken stock.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 2.5–3.5 hours.
- Once cooking time is complete, remove the chicken and shred it into bite-sized pieces, then return to the pot.
- In a separate saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Whisk in an equal amount of all-purpose flour.
- Gradually add in the milk while continuing to whisk until the mixture thickens, about 4 minutes.
- Pour the prepared roux into the slow cooker, stirring well. Adjust the consistency with more chicken stock or milk as needed.
