INGREDIENTS

  • Main ingredients

    • 🍗 1 (14 ounce) package chicken tenders
    • 🧀 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
    • ½ cup ranch dressing
    • ⅓ cup Buffalo wing sauce
    • 💧 2 tablespoons water
    • 🧀 2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese
    • 🍚 2 cups cooked rice
    • 🧀 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
    • 2 cups crushed corn tortilla chips (such as Tostitos)

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add chicken tenders and cook until no longer pink in the center and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and let cool for about 5 minutes. Shred chicken using 2 forks.

3

Add softened cream cheese to a blender and blend until smooth. Add ranch dressing, Buffalo wing sauce, and water into the blender and blend again until smooth. Stir in shredded chicken and Colby-Jack cheese.

4

Spread cooked rice evenly in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the Buffalo chicken mixture over the rice. Sprinkle shredded sharp Cheddar cheese on top and cover the dish with aluminum foil.

5

Bake the dish in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, approximately 45 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle crushed tortilla chips on top before serving.
