Instructions
Creating amazing Buffalo Chicken Bowls is easy. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
2. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks or chop it into bite-sized pieces.
3. Add Buffalo Sauce: In the same skillet, add the buffalo sauce to the shredded chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
4. Prepare the Base: While the chicken is cooking, prepare your base. In bowls, add a scoop of cooked brown rice or quinoa as the foundation.
5. Assemble the Bowls: Top the rice with the buffalo chicken, then add shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and shredded carrots.
6. Drizzle with Dressing: Finish off by drizzling ranch dressing over the top. Add more buffalo sauce if desired for extra heat.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Buffalo Chicken Bowls while they’re warm.
