  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– ½ cup buffalo sauce (your favorite brand)
– 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 cup cucumber, diced
– 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

– ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
– ½ cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
– Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish
– Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Creating Buffalo Chicken Bowls is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest.
2. Shred the Chicken: Using two forks, shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces or shred it using a mixer for quicker results.
3. Toss with Buffalo Sauce: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce. Ensure it’s evenly coated.
4. Prepare the Rice: If you haven’t already, cook your rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
5. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, start with a base of cooked rice, then layer on the buffalo chicken.
6. Add Vegetables: Top the chicken with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, corn, and avocado slices for a fresh crunch.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle with shredded cheese and drizzle your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing over the top.
8. Finish with Herbs: Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions to add a burst of flavor.
