Buffalo Chicken Sauce over Rice image

I had a lot of Recipe #225888 leftover from a cookout so after some wonderful suggestions in the forums from a few other cooks, I came up with this. It sure was yummy! I served it over rice, but I'm sure you could serve it over any kind of pasta. I've also halved the original recipe (with the exception of the canned chicken since I always use more anyway) since that's about the amount of dip I had leftover. And I changed some of the ingredients from the original to get it to the way I usually make it.

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 (10 ounce) cans canned chicken, drained and flaked
1 (8 ounce) box cream cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbles
3/4 cup hot sauce (I use Frank's)
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup white wine (or chicken broth)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 (15 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, lightly drained
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 celery ribs, diced
1/2 tablespoon butter
3 medium chicken breasts, cut up
salt
pepper
rice, cooked and used for serving

Steps:

  • Mix the canned chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheddar, blue cheese crumbles, milk, white wine, garlic powder and seasoned salt in a crock pot over high. Cover and set aside, stirring occasionally, so it melds together while cooking the rest of dinner.
  • WHEN IT IS ALL SOFTENED AND MIXED TOGETHER, REDUCE HEAT TO LOW OR WARM.
  • In a large saucepan, cook diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Heat to bubbly over MEDIUM. Reduce heat to LOW, cover and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
  • While tomato sauce mixture is simmering, heat butter in a small saucepan over MEDIUM-HIGH heat. Add celery and saute for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir into crock pot mixture.
  • Remove the tomato sauce from heat and stir into crock pot mixture. Recover crock pot and allow to continue cooking.
  • Rinse the tomato sauce pan and heat over MEDIUM heat. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink and juices run clear. Don't worry about draining if it's watery.
  • Add chicken to crock pot mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Serve over rice or any other pasta. If it still seems too thick, thin the sauce with more milk or white wine.
