I highly recommend this recipe! It's very flavorful and comforting. I added a little creole seasoning on my chicken when cooking because my family likes a little kick to everything. I also used brown rice instead of wild rice because it was all I had. I probably would use 1/2 cup of the brown rice though next time. That's the only difference in the recipe I used and it was delicious. Try it, I think you will like it.
