Ingredients

Scale

For the Buffalo Chicken:

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup Buffalo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional, for extra creaminess)

For the Bowl Base:

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice, white rice, or quinoa
  • 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or mixed greens
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup sliced red onions (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a little olive oil, and cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  2. Coat in Buffalo Sauce: Melt the butter (if using) in the same skillet over low heat. Add the buffalo sauce and stir to combine. Slice the chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces and toss in the buffalo sauce mixture until well coated.
  3. Prepare the Bowl Base: Cook rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Slice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and chop the cilantro.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Start with a layer of rice or quinoa in each bowl. Add shredded lettuce, corn, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and red onions. Top with the buffalo chicken and drizzle any extra sauce from the skillet. Finish with crumbled feta, dressing, and a squeeze of lime if desired.
