Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 13-inch casserole dish.
• In a large saucepan, combine the water, thyme, bay leaf, and salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the chicken and simmer until cooked through, about 15 minutes, depending on thickness of the chicken. Remove the chicken to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, dice into 1/2-inch cubes and reserve.
• Return the water to a boil, add the wild rice, and cover. Cook over medium heat until the rice grains split, 40 to 45 minutes. Drain the excess water, transfer the rice to a bowl and set aside.
• In a small pot, over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter. When the butter is melted add the brown sugar, cranberries, rosemary, bread crumbs, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is uniform. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. In a large straight-sided saute pan over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the mushrooms, onions, and a pinch of salt. Saute until the mushrooms are browned, about 5 minutes. Add the heavy cream and the cinnamon, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer about 2 minutes to thicken slightly. Add the Gruyere and mix to incorporate. Add the rice and chicken to the pot and stir to combine. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, to taste, then transfer it to the prepared casserole dish. Spread the cranberry mixture evenly over the top of the casserole and bake until golden and bubbling, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve hot.

• Warm the olive oil or butter in a large, oven safe pan or skillet. When the oil is hot, add the onion and cook 4-5 minutes.
• While the onion is cooking, prep the veggies. Roughly chop the carrots and celery then add them to a food processor and pulse everything together into a course, crumbly mixture. Depending on the size of your processor you may need to do this in a couple of batches. Once chopped, remove the carrots and celery from the processor then add the mushrooms and pulse until finely chopped.
• Add the ground up veggies to the skillet and continue cooking another 5-6 minutes.
• Stir in wild rice, parsley and thyme. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet then pour in the chicken stock and wine. Gently stir everything together.
• Cover with a fitted lid or foil then place in the middle of the oven and bake for 40 minutes. While the casserole is baking prep the breadcrumbs.
• To make the breadcrumbs: Tear your pieces of bread into bite-sized pieces then toss in the food processor. Pulse until your bread has broken up into smaller crumbs and pieces.
• Warm a medium sized skillet over a medium heat with butter or oil. Pour the ground up bread crumbs into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes stirring frequently. The breadcrumbs should be golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.
• After 40 minutes, remove the casserole from the oven along with the lid. Gently fluff up the rice by stirring the casserole. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of the rice (if using) followed by the toasted bread crumbs.
• Return the uncovered dish to the oven and bake another 15-20 minutes. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed and serve with fresh parsley and enjoy.

• Melt the butter in an oven-safe braiser (or large cast-iron skillet with a lid or 4-quart saute pan with a lid) over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and mushrooms, tossing to coat in the butter, and cook, stirring once or twice, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sherry, allowing the pan to deglaze. Add the rice and allow it to toast and soak in the flavors of the pan. Add about 4 cups of the hot broth to the pan. Add the thyme and bay leaf. Cover the braiser and place it in the oven to bake until the rice is almost cooked, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the coriander, salt and pepper. Brush the chicken with the olive oil, then dust all over with the seasoning. Set aside.
• Fluff the rice with a fork and check on doneness. It should still have some chew with some grains just starting to pop open. Stir in the cranberries. Add the remaining hot broth to keep the dish brothy. Add the chicken breasts to the braiser, laying them at an angle so that most of the chicken is submerged in the rice. Shingle the lemon slices in between the chicken breasts. Cover and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until the chicken registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about another 10 minutes. Top with the parsley or thyme before serving.

RING OF WILD RICE WITH A MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Rice -- Cook the rice according to package directions.
• Base -- Melt the butter over medium heat and add in the flour and stir until well combined. Slowly mix the hot water with the bouillon until well combined and then add to the butter and flour mixture. Add in the rice and turn off the heat and stir well and let it cook for about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Ring -- I like to use a 6-7" ring or mold. Spray well with a non-stick spray. Press the rice mixture into the mold and press it down good - You would the mixture well packed. I like to make this the day before and then I just have to bake it. Make sure to cover well with saran or plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator if you are not immediately cooking it.
• Bake -- Oven to 350, middle shelf. And here's the trick - fill a 13x9 pan with hot water and put on the bottom shelf, then the rice mold on the middle shelf. This will cause steam and therefore the rice doesn't burn. About 40-50 minutes un-covered. Remove from the oven and cover with foil to let it rest as you make the mushroom sauce.
• Sauce -- In a small sauce pan, add the butter and melt on medium heat. Add the mushrooms and saute for 3-4 for minutes until they are tender. Then whisk in the flour and cook just a minute to get rid of the flour taste. Add the chicken bouillon and milk and bring to medium heat until the sauce thickens. Season with the rosemary, salt and pepper.
• Serve -- Put the serving tray on top of the rice ring and then flip over. The rice mold should pop right out. I like to drizzle a little of the mushroom sauce over the rice, maybe a few rosemary sprigs in the middle and then a small dish of the mushroom sauce on the side for people to help themselves. The rice mold will cut nicely into wedges. You can serve a little of the sauce over each wedge.
• ENJOY a unique side dish!
• Cooking and prep time is a mix of cooking the rice and then baking.
