Instructions

Creating Herb Butter Chicken with Wild Rice is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these steps for delicious results:

1. Prepare the Wild Rice: Rinse the wild rice under cold water. In a saucepan, combine the wild rice, chicken broth, and water. Bring to a boil.
2. Cook the Rice: Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes until the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork once done.
3. Season the Chicken: While the rice is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
4. Make the Herb Butter: In a bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Mix until well blended.
5. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the herb butter. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Add Remaining Butter: Once the chicken is cooked, add the remaining herb butter to the skillet, coating the chicken for additional flavor.
7. Serve: Plate the wild rice, top with the herb butter chicken, and garnish with lemon slices for a fresh touch.
