Easy Chicken and Wild Rice Hot Dish image

The original recipe was prepared by Amy Thielen, in the October issue of Food Network magazine. I have substituted some ingredients due to unavailability and high cost. Green onions for leeks, evaporated milk and water for whole milk, sour cream for fresh cream and Rice a Roni Long Grain & Wild Rice for natural wild rice. This substitution saves time.

This was a great recipe! I made it exactly as written and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was cooked through but still moist, and the wild rice was fluffy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I love this recipe! It's so versatile and easy to make. I've made it with chicken, turkey, and even tofu. I've also added different vegetables, like broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. It's always a hit with my family and friends.

I wasn't impressed with this recipe. The chicken was dry and the wild rice was mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this again.

This was a good recipe, but I found it to be a little bland. I think it could have used some more seasoning. I also found that the chicken was a little dry. I think I would try cooking it in a different way next time.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it always turns out delicious. I like to add a little bit of garlic and onion powder to the chicken before I cook it, and I also like to add a cup of frozen peas and carrots to the dish. It's a great way t

This was an easy and delicious recipe. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it cooked perfectly in the crock pot. The wild rice added a nice nutty flavor to the dish. I will definitely be making this again!

This chicken and wild rice hot dish was an absolute delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a hit with my family.
