Wild Rice Pilaf

Yesterday I got to try another recipe that I've had a restaurants, but never made at home, Wild Rice Pilaf. Trevor is usually the go-to guy for all things rice, and he can make some amazing rice dishes. I was glad to throw my hat into the ring and try out a rice dish of my own. Wild rice is my favorite type of rice, so it seems like a good place to start.

Wild Rice Pilaf
1 cup wild rice
1 cup cooked chicken, thin slices
2 carrots, sliced thinly
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
salt to taste

Prepare the wild rice as directed on the package. Meanwhile, saute the carrots until semi-soft, then add the onions and mushrooms. Saute until the vegetables reach desired consistency. Add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the wild rice and chicken.
