Description
A fun and healthy way to enjoy the classic flavors of buffalo wings with tender chicken, spicy buffalo sauce, and fresh veggies over rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
- Optional: sliced avocado, for topping
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the hot sauce and melted butter. Mix well and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and fully cooked.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour the buffalo sauce over the cooked chicken. Stir to coat evenly and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare serving bowls by adding a base layer of cooked rice. Divide buffalo chicken evenly among the bowls.
- Top each bowl with shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing. Garnish with green onions and optional avocado slices.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in hot sauce for 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust heat by changing hot sauce type or quantity.
