Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Boneless, Skinless, Chicken Breast cut into small cubes
  • 1 Yellow Onion diced
  • 6 ounce Can Diced Green Chilies
  • cups Long Grain Rice
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce
  • cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Crumbled Blue Cheese
  • 4 Green Onions green parts only, chopped

Instructions

  • In a large skillet (with a lid) melt the butter over medium-high heat and stir in the onions, cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until onions become translucent.
  • Add the cut chicken (see notes below on when to add the chicken depending on the rice), diced green chilies, rice, buffalo sauce, and chicken broth. Stir the ingredients together and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and cover with the lid. Cook for 25 to 45 minutes (this depends on the type of rice you use) or until all the broth is absorbed by the rice.
  • Stir in the cheddar cheese and sprinkle blue cheese and green onions on top.

Notes

You don’t want to use quick-cooking rice for this recipe. Depending on the type of rice you use it could take up to 45 minutes until the rice is fully cooked. Check the package cooking instructions of the rice. If it suggests 40 to 45 minutes then wait until there are about 20 minutes left of cooking time to add the chicken. If however, the rice only takes about 20 minutes to cook then you can add the chicken at the same time as the other ingredients.
