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 chips (such as Tostitos®)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add chicken tenders. Cook until no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes. Shred chicken with 2 forks.
-
Beat cream cheese in a blender until smooth. Add ranch dressing, Buffalo wing sauce, and water; blend until smooth. Mix in shredded chicken and Colby Jack cheese.
-
Spread rice in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour Buffalo chicken mixture on top. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until Cheddar cheese is melted and bubbly, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle corn chips on top.
Cook's Note:
Cover leftovers in individual portions. If you cover the entire dish and reheat it later, the corn chips can get soggy.
