This is a perfect base recipe; a good foundation for your culinary imagination. Tonight I "kicked it up a notch." I doubled the amounts since there are two of us. While the wild rice was cooking, I lightly fried 2 andoulle sausages chopped. When done I lightly sautéed onions and 2 cloves of garlic in the andouille oil and a splash of EVOO. Instead of salt and pepper on the chicken breast, I used Cajun seasoning (Penzy's). When the rice was done, I added the andouille and mixed together. I also used 2 four oz cans of mushrooms, using the liquid from only 1 can. From there I followed the rest of the original recipe. Thank you Bill !!!Reply
