Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and lightly caramelized and have released their liquid, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add chopped shallots, chopped celery, garlic, and thyme. Cook until the shallots are soft, about 5 minutes. Continue cooking over medium-high heat until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Add the white rice, wild rice, chicken broth, and chopped green onions. Stir to combine.
Add the breadcrumbs; stir to combine.
Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Set aside to cool completely if using for a stuffing. Otherwise, transfer to a casserole dish. Bake in a preheated 350° F oven for 30 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.
