Ingredients

1 onion
5 carrots
5 stalks celery
1 cup wild rice
3 cups chicken broth
1 lb chicken breasts
10 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
4 tbsp flour
2 cups milk
3 1/2 cups cubed bread

Steps

Rinse the wild rice, combine it with the chicken broth in a saucepan, and simmer covered for 45 minutes.
Heat the oven to 350 F and grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter.
Cook the chicken in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes per side, until it reaches 165 F, then cube it.
Melt 4 tablespoons butter in the skillet, cook the onion, carrots, and celery for 10 minutes, and stir in the flour.
Whisk in the milk, salt, and poultry seasoning, then simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
Mix the cooked rice, chicken, and vegetables with the sauce in the baking dish.
Toss the bread cubes with the remaining melted butter, scatter them over the casserole, and bake for 25 minutes.
