This rustic one-pot meal, a company's-coming riff on the old-school chicken-and-rice number, is held together by a tangy gravy flavored with country ham and mushrooms. Nutty wild rice helps sop up all the good chicken gravy.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1 (6-oz.) container uncooked wild rice
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped country ham or bacon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 large carrot, finely chopped

  • Garnishes: fresh flat-leaf parsley, sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Bring 1/2 tsp. kosher salt and 1 qt. water to a boil in a 3-qt. saucepan over high heat. Stir in rice, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook 30 minutes.

  3. Cook ham in 1 Tbsp. hot oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, 6 minutes or until beginning to brown. Stir in onion and next 2 ingredients.

Remove mixture from skillet.
  4. Preheat oven to 375 °. Sprinkle chicken with remaining 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to skillet. Cook chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat 4 minutes on each side or until brown. Remove skillet from heat; transfer chicken to a plate.
