Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb grilled chicken breast, cubed

Base

  • 3 cups cooked brown rice

Sauce and Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Toss the cubed grilled chicken breast thoroughly with the buffalo sauce, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated with the spicy flavor.
  2. Assemble the bowls: Start by layering three-quarters of a cup of cooked brown rice at the bottom of each bowl.
  3. Add buffalo chicken: Place a generous portion of the buffalo-coated chicken on top of the rice in each bowl.
  4. Top with celery and cheese: Sprinkle diced celery and blue cheese crumbles evenly over the chicken and rice to add crunch and creaminess.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately for the best combination of warm rice and chicken with refreshing celery and tangy cheese.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the buffalo sauce.
  • Use white rice if preferred, but brown rice provides more fiber and nutrients.
  • Grilled chicken can be swapped for rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Substitute blue cheese with ranch dressing for a milder flavor.
  • Make this meal ahead by keeping components separate and assembling when ready to eat.
