Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cooking the wild rice according to package instructions. Shred any cooked chicken breast you have on hand.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent (about 3-5 minutes).
  2. Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen peas, and carrots, cooking for an additional 5 minutes, allowing them to heat through.
  3. Pour in the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth, stirring to combine everything evenly. Season with dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
  4. Add the cooked wild rice to the skillet, mixing thoroughly to coat everything in that creamy goodness.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using the pie crust, place it over the skillet filling and cut slits to allow steam to escape. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
  6. Once everything is cooked and bubbly, serve warm and watch your family savor every bite!
