Ingredients

6 servings

1 ½ lb bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 thighs)
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
3 stalks celery, sliced ¼-inch thick
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
1 bay leaf
¾ cup wild rice, rinsed
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup water
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
½ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until the foam subsides. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 6–8 minutes.
