Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • 4 cups gourmet blend mushrooms
  • 1 small sweet onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup wild rice blend
  • ⅔ cup heavy whipping cream divided
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • ½ cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Method
 

  1. In a medium Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook until browned. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to Dutch oven. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in flour; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in wine; cook for 1 minute. Add broth, rice, ⅓ cup cream, rosemary, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  3. Stir in cooked chicken, cheese, lemon juice, and remaining ⅓ cup cream; cook until chicken is heated through, about 5 minutes. Garnish with rosemary, if desired.

Notes

Kitchen Tip: Substitute heavy whipping cream with half-and-half or milk for a lighter broth.
