Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup Frank's RedHot Sauce
- 1 1/2 cups long grain rice
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth or water
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 cup chopped celery
Instructions
- In bite-sized pieces, cut the chicken breast. Then, chop the onions and celery.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they become tender.
- Next, add in the rice, chicken pieces, hot sauce, broth, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together, then cover the pan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for around 15 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and you see air pockets in the rice.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork, and mix in the cheddar cheese, blue cheese, and green onions. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- This casserole is perfect for those hectic weeknights or even weekend gatherings! Enjoy!
