Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb grilled chicken breast, cubed
  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce

Base

  • 3 cups cooked brown rice

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Toss the cubed grilled chicken breast in the buffalo sauce until well coated, ensuring every piece absorbs the spicy flavor.
  2. Assemble the rice bowl: Begin by layering 3 cups of cooked brown rice evenly at the bottom of each bowl.
  3. Add buffalo chicken: Spread the buffalo sauce-coated chicken evenly over the rice layer in each bowl.
  4. Top with celery: Sprinkle 1/2 cup diced celery over the chicken to add a refreshing crunch to the bowl.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add a drizzle of additional buffalo sauce before serving.
  • Use cooked chicken thighs instead of breast for a juicier texture.
  • Substitute blue cheese with ranch dressing if preferred.
  • To make it low sodium, reduce the buffalo sauce or choose a low-sodium variety.
