This recipe combines seafood and wild rice to create a wholesome, flavorful, and filling one-dish meal. The Omega-3s in the seafood and wild rice smooth and soften the skin. For a variation, try adding chicken and sausage to your favorite seafood. —FoodTrients

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion

Directions
  1. Place the rice in a bowl, cover with water, and soak overnight.
