Buffalo Chicken Casserole

Category: Appetizers, Chicken

 Ingredients List

  • 1/2 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 2 medium stalks celery, thinly sliced (1 cup)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) stewed tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing
  • 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese

 Directions

Cook rice in water 20 minutes as directed on package. Meanwhile, heat oven to 350°F. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and celery; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove from heat. Open can of tomatoes; cut up tomatoes in can. Stir tomatoes and wing sauce into chicken mixture. We did not cook the celery. I like a bit of crunch and didn't feel it was necessary. I'm glad we didn't because it came out just fine. I also recommend using rotisserie chicken, it will save time. If you do that, all you have to do is cook the rice, then pull the chicken and mix in celery, wing sauce and tomatoes for this step.
Spray 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon cooked rice into dish. Spread chicken mixture over rice (do not stir). I added the dressing to this step. I poured it over the chicken mixture, topped it with a 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese and sent it to the oven.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until hot in center (or cheese is bubbling).
