Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup wild rice, rinsed and drained

4 cups chicken broth

1 medium onion, diced

2 carrots, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 bay leaf

1 cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by dicing the onion, carrots, and celery, and mincing the garlic.

    Layer Ingredients in the Crockpot: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot. Add the diced onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and rinsed wild rice on top.

      Add the Liquids and Seasoning: Pour in the chicken broth, then sprinkle in the thyme, parsley, bay leaf, and season with salt and pepper.

        Cook: Cover the crockpot with the lid, set it to low, and cook for 6-7 hours, or until the wild rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.

          Shred the Chicken: Once it's done cooking, remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back into the soup.

            Stir in the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Allow it to heat through for about 10 minutes.

              Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Check the soup for seasoning and adjust if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
