Buffalo Chicken Blue Cheese Crumb Bake

Buffalo sauce, chicken and white beans make a tangy filling under a blue-cheese panko crust. The beans mellow the heat and stretch the chicken without adding pasta. Blue cheese is measured into the crumbs, where its sharp flavor survives instead of dissolving into an indistinct sauce.
