0 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.
1 Mix the cooked rice with the onion powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Set aside.
2 Place the diced chicken in a medium bowl. Measure in [adjustable]½ cup[/adjustable] of the wing sauce. Toss to coat and add more if you like it spicy. Set aside.
3 Warm the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced carrots and celery. Cook for 8-10 minutes until softened.
4 Pour the vegetables into the large bowl with the rice. Drizzle in the ranch dressing, too. (You can also use blue cheese dressing here.)
5 Layer half the rice-vegetable mixture into the casserole dish. Flatten with the back of a spoon. Add all of the chicken, and spread it out evenly. Add the remaining rice-vegetable mixture on top, and flatten again.
6 Drizzle the remaining [adjustable]¼ cup[/adjustable] wing sauce on top, then sprinkle on the cheese.
7 Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and beautiful.
8 Enjoy warm!
