A quick and easy buffalo chicken bowl featuring spicy buffalo chicken, creamy blue cheese and ranch dressings, fresh veggies, and a base of rice or cauliflower rice. Perfect for a hearty, flavorful meal in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced or cubed
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice or cauliflower rice
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup lettuce or baby greens (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Slice into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces in a single layer and cook without moving for 3-4 minutes to sear.
  3. Stir and cook another 3-4 minutes until chicken is cooked through and slightly golden, about 7-8 minutes total.
  4. Remove skillet from heat. Pour 1/2 cup buffalo sauce over chicken and stir to coat evenly.
  5. Warm 2 cups cooked rice or cauliflower rice in microwave or stovetop. Fluff with a fork and season lightly with salt if desired.
  6. Prepare veggies: thinly slice celery, chop green onions, shred carrots, and wash greens if using.
  7. Divide rice evenly among 4 bowls. Top with buffalo chicken, celery, carrots, green onions, and greens.
  8. Drizzle 1/4 cup ranch dressing over each bowl and sprinkle 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles on top. Add extra buffalo sauce or crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
  9. Gently toss or serve as is to preserve layers of flavor and texture. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

If buffalo sauce is too spicy, mix with melted butter to mellow heat. Let chicken rest a minute after cooking to lock in juiciness. Use cauliflower rice or shredded lettuce for a low-carb version. Store dressings separately to keep veggies crisp when storing leftovers.
