Description
A warm, hearty dish that combines the classic flavors of buffalo chicken with the comforting elements of a casserole.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions, for garnish
- Optional: ½ cup blue cheese crumbles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Sauté the diced onion and celery in a large skillet over medium heat until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Mix the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cooked rice, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, half of the cheddar cheese, and season with salt and pepper in the same skillet.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly on top.
- Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and blue cheese crumbles if desired, then serve warm.
