Sounds like you've already decided how you're going to do it.
If it were me, I'd cook the wild rice completely, using chicken broth
for the liquid and stir in toasted slivered almonds and sauteed
mushrooms (sauteed in butter) when you heat it at work in the crockpot.

I would cook the wild rice by boiling the water-rinsed (about 4 times)
rice in a large quantity of liquid until it's tender, anywhere from
15-45 minutes, depending on the kind of rice you use. Then drain it
well and it's ready for use in your recipe (or mine :-)
