Spicy and creamy buffalo chicken served over rice with fresh veggies — perfect for meal prep and easy weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (such as Frank’s)
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1 cup matchstick carrots
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese or feta crumbles (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional ranch or Greek yogurt dressing

Instructions

  1. Cook rice according to package instructions and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add cubed chicken. Season with salt and pepper and cook until fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes.
  3. Pour buffalo sauce over the cooked chicken and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Prepare fresh veggies: halve cherry tomatoes, dice cucumber and red onion, and shred carrots.
  5. Assemble bowls by dividing rice among serving bowls or containers.
  6. Top each with buffalo chicken, fresh veggies, and optional blue cheese or feta.
  7. Drizzle with ranch or Greek yogurt dressing if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Store components separately in meal prep containers for best texture when reheating.
  • Use brown rice or cauliflower rice to adjust carbs.
  • For milder heat, use less buffalo sauce or add extra dressing.
