Buffalo Chicken Rice Bowls


Ingredients:

  • 3 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup canned low-sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (Frank's or your favorite)
  • 3 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1/2 cup part-skim cheddar cheese, or dairy-free cheddar
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions
Optional additions:
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions:

  1. Cook chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5 minutes per side). Set aside.  
  2. Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, add diced onion, paprika, cumin, and salt. Sauté until onions are softened.
  3. Combine ingredients: Add black beans and buffalo sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  4. Assemble bowls: Divide cooked brown rice into bowls. Top with the buffalo chicken mixture, cheese, and scallions.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately, or refrigerate for meal prep. To reheat, microwave for 3 minutes.

Optional additions:

  • For extra flavor: Add cilantro, feta cheese, or red pepper flakes.
  • For a richer texture: Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream.
  • For a spicier kick: Increase the amount of buffalo sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
