1 lb | chicken breast

1 cup | celery, chopped

1 | large shallot, diced

1 cup | wild rice

8 cups | chicken bone broth

1 tsp | dried sage

Salt to taste

If your chicken is one large breast, cut in half, to allow for more even cooking, and then add chicken to the slow cooker.
Now add all the rest of the ingredients, stir together and cook using one of the following methods:
- Cook on high for 4 hours, take the chicken out, and shred it and serve!
- Cook on low for 7-8 hours, the chicken will need to be removed after 4-5 hours and shredded, otherwise it will become too dry. Add the chicken back in for the last 20 minutes, and serve!
