Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 lb chicken breasts or thighs, diced
  • 1 cup wild rice (uncooked, rinsed)
  • 5 cups chicken bone broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp salt (more to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup chopped kale or spinach
  • 1/2–1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
Optional
  • Parmesan for serving (skip for DF)
  • Red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté 5 minutes. Add garlic + mushrooms and cook 2 minutes more.
  2. Add diced chicken to the pot. Season with salt + pepper. Cook until lightly browned (doesn’t need to be fully cooked).
  3. Stir in wild rice, chicken broth, thyme, rosemary and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook 40–50 minutes until rice is tender.
  4. Remove bay leaf. Add kale or spinach and stir until wilted. Stir in coconut milk for a creamy finish.
  5. Add lemon juice. Taste and adjust: more salt, more lemon. Serve and top with Parmesan and red pepper flakes if desired.
