Awesome! I made this just a little different because I had some pre-cooked chicken from a deli roasted chicken that I needed to use. I used about 14 oz chicken, skipping the celery, and mixing the tomatoes and sauce with the already cooked chicken. Put that mix in the microwave to heat for a couple minutes (as the chicken was cold) before continuing on from step 8 down. I also doubled the rice and used a little extra blue cheese dressing ( recipe #415739 ). Thanks for sharing!

It was OK, a little too saucy. I would add twice as much rice.

Excellent recipe! I used a can of diced tomatoes instead of stewed and chicken tenders to make it easier.

Best dish ever! I brought it to an office potluck last week and it was a huge hit.

I first saw this recipe in a magazine or check-out counter recipe booklet. I cannot find the original recipe but this one looks just like it. It is very good! Cut back on the Frank's buffalo wing sauce if you don't like it too spicy.
