Creating Buffalo Chicken Bowls involves a few simple steps. Follow this guide to prepare your delicious meal:
1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the boneless chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
2. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, shred it using two forks or chop it into bite-sized pieces.
3. Add Buffalo Sauce: Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and pour in the buffalo sauce. Stir to coat the chicken evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
4. Prepare the Base: In serving bowls, start with a layer of cooked rice as the base for each bowl.
5. Add Vegetables: Top the rice with chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, and diced celery. Arrange the veggies attractively for a vibrant presentation.
6. Add Chicken: Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture over the vegetables in each bowl.
