WILD RICE AND CHICKEN, ASHTON STYLE #180

You may not be aware but only indians can harvest wild rice in the wild. I understand that any person can harvest it on their own property.  In addition indians do it by being in a canoe and brushing the wild rice into their boat.  Another thing about wild rice is that one its not rice but a cereal and two there is very little taste as such and only tastes good by mixing it with something else such as meats, corn, squash, and maple sugar.  The recipe I am giving you is with chicken and I hope  you will enjoy it.
