Servings: persons

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

1
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.
2
WHEN IT IS ALL SOFTENED AND MIXED TOGETHER, REDUCE HEAT TO LOW OR WARM.
3
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.
4
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.
5
Remove the tomato sauce from heat and stir into crock pot mixture. Recover crock pot and allow to continue cooking.
6
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.
7
Add chicken to crock pot mixture. Stir to combine.
8
Serve over rice or any other pasta. If it still seems too thick, thin the sauce with more milk or white wine.
