This quick dish is always a hit when I have a luncheon at work or church. It's so easy to customize: add veggies, spicy it up with some jalapeno, or cool it down with a dab of sour cream or ranch dressing.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Turn Buffalo wings into a cheesy chicken casserole. This dish is cheesy and has the perfect amount of Buffalo flavor. Purchasing store-bought grilled chicken makes prep a breeze. Filled with cubed chicken, brown rice, onion, and cheese, this is a quick, easy, and hearty meal for game day.

    For the grilled chicken, I like to use John Soules Foods Rotisserie Seasoned Chicken Breast Strips because they are gluten-free and fully cooked. I chop them into 1/2-inch cubes, add a few dashes of garlic pepper (season to your taste), and warm in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Place chicken in the bowl with cooked rice.
  • Onion and grilled chicken added to the rice.
    3
    Chop onion and saute in a 1/2 tsp of olive oil add a few dashes of garlic pepper (season to your taste). When done, add to bowl with the grilled chicken and rice.
  • Cheese and wing sauce mixed in.
    4
    Add 1 cup of cheese and 1 cup of wing sauce. Mix well.
  • Chicken poured into a casserole dish and baking.
    5
    Lightly spray a casserole dish with Pam. Add chicken and rice mixture. Sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese on top. Bake in the oven until cheese is golden or 30 minutes.
  • Texture of the Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Casserole.

    You can use white rice. Sometimes I break up corn tortillas and place them at the bottom of the dish and layer the chicken mixture. Sometimes I add sliced mushrooms. You can add whatever you like and make it as mild or hot as you want.
