Equipment

9 x 13 Baking Dish

Ingredients

2 cups chicken broth
½ cup hot sauce like Frank's RedHot
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
14 oz chicken breasts diced, about 2 large chicken breasts
1 carrot
2 celery rib
1 cup long grain white rice
1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese 150 grams

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small pot, combine the broth, buffalo sauce, butter, and spices. Bring to a boil.
In a 9 x 13 casserole dish, spread the diced chicken, onion, carrot, and celery. Sprinkle the rice evenly.
Pour the hot broth over, make sure the rice is submerged.
Foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil, and add the cheese.
Return to the oven to bake for 5-10 minutes, or broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully.

Notes

You must use boiling liquid and foil or a lid for the rice to cook properly. Skipping either of these steps will result in uncooked rice.
