Ingredients 

1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
3 to 4 (1 pound) Gold'n PlumpĀ® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 can (49-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
1/2 cup uncooked wild rice, rinsed
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 carton (8 ounces) sour cream
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions 

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, onion, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 to 6 minutes or until the chicken is just no longer pink.

Transfer the chicken mixture to a 4- to 6-quart slow-cooker. Stir in the chicken broth, wild rice, and carrot. Cover and cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or cook on Low for 9 to 10 hours. The soup is done when the chicken and rice are tender.

Combine the sour cream and flour in a small bowl. Stir into the hot soup. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6 to 10 minutes or until the soup is thick, creamy, and thoroughly heated.
