Buffalo Chicken Recipes
Buffalo Chicken. These are two words that fill my family’s heart with joy. If I incorporate chicken and buffalo sauce in any kind of recipe, they will come running to the kitchen in a short time. Today’s recipe, Buffalo Chicken and Rice Skillet, combines our family’s beloved dynamic duo of ingredients with my personal childhood comfort food, chicken and rice. Chicken and rice is a simple dish my mom made regularly. An old-school one-pot hero! Mom would slow-cook a whole chicken with onions, celery, and carrots, then add in the rice to cook the last hour or so. When she pulled out the chicken, the meat was so tender it fell off the bones, making it easy to fold into the rice.

In this Buffalo Chicken Casserole, I’ve made a quickie version of my mom’s recipe, adding buffalo sauce to the broth to cook the rice. Then at the end, I stir in shredded cheddar, blue cheese crumbles, and some chopped green onion. Simple, right? Yet you will be amazed at the praise this dish receives… And the battle over the last few scoops of rice in the skillet. Buffalo Chicken and Rice Casserole not only makes a cozy dinner, but it is also a fabulous leftover to pack in school or work lunch boxes. Try it with brown rice, or alternative cheeses as well!
