Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, feel free to use 1 pound of cut up boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of the chicken breast meat called for in the recipe. Just keep in mind that chicken thighs are dark meat and as such will have more calories and fat than white meat chicken breasts.
I have found that the best way to cook the wild rice blend is either in an electric pressure cooker (on the rice setting) or in a rice cooker. However if you do not have either one of those appliances you can cook the wild rice according to the package directions either on the stove-top or even in the microwave.
If you or your family do not like mushrooms feel free to omit them entirely from the recipe.
