Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken into a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir in chicken broth, wild rice, garlic, onion, carrots, celery, thyme, rosemary and bay leaves. Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours.

During the last 30 minutes of cooking time, add the mushrooms to the slow cooker and remove the chicken breasts to a plate or cutting board. Replace the slow cooker lid. Shred chicken using two forks and set aside.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, then whisk in half and half until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Stir shredded chicken and the half and half/butter mixture into the slow cooker. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley, thyme and shredded or shaved Parmesan cheese, if desired.
