The Last Winter Comfort Food: Wild Rice Soup-Encrusted Chicken Breasts


In this final cold snap (conveniently situated in the midst of "spring" break), I created a new winter comfort dish that the whole family gobbled up tonight.

Ingredients

2 C leftover Wild Rice soup (I used the Byerly's recipe with ham, but you could purchase this for your own convenience)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
paprika
kosher salt
freshly ground pepper

Instructions
This one is sure to wow any true Minnesotan, especially a man who loves a hearty, creamy meal. Place the 4 chicken breasts in a small glass baking pan. Sprinkle with kosher salt, cracked pepper, and a bit of paprika for aesthetic appeal. Then, slather the breasts with 2 C of wild rice soup.

It's honestly that easy.

Bake this dish at 350 degrees for about an hour. Check on the chicken once, flipping it over and re-sprinkling the other side of the chicken with more salt, pepper, and paprika.

You will be amazed with this easy, luscious meal!
