INGREDIENTS

  • Protein

    • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • Condiments

    • 2 tablespoons melted butter
    • ⅔ cup mayonnaise
    • 3 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
    • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

  • Spices

    • Salt to taste
    • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
    • ½ teaspoon paprika
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • Grains

    • 1 cup long grain rice, cooked according to package directions

  • Vegetables

    • 1 cup diced celery, divided

  • Dairy

    • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese, divided

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2

Add chicken thighs and melted butter to a baking dish, and toss until coated. Season the top with salt.

3

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is just cooked through, about 20 minutes.

4

Make sauce by adding mayonnaise, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and vinegar to a mixing bowl. Whisk together and refrigerate.

5

Reserve all juices from the baking dish and pour into a measuring cup. Add enough water to reach 1 2/3 cups.

6

Cook rice using the water-drippings mixture. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes.

7

Transfer rice to the baking dish and drizzle any accumulated sauce from the chicken over it.

8

Cut chicken into 1/2-inch cubes. Mix chicken with mayo sauce. Sprinkle rice with half the celery and spread the chicken mixture evenly on top.

9

Top with crumbled blue cheese and add cayenne, if desired.

10

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and bake for 15-20 minutes. Optionally broil for 1-2 minutes for more color.

11

Garnish with the remaining celery, blue cheese, hot sauce, and celery leaves. Serve hot or at room temperature.
