A vibrant dish of juicy chicken coated in zesty buffalo sauce, complemented by colorful veggies and creamy gorgonzola, celebrating bold flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
  • 12 oz buffalo sauce (mild)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 1 cup matchstick or shredded carrots
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup finely diced cucumber
  • 12 pieces cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting your boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks. Heat the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet and add the chicken. Season it with 1/4 tsp of salt, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add Flavor: Once the chicken is cooked, pour in the buffalo sauce. Stir to coat the chicken pieces evenly and let them simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld wonderfully.
  3. Cook the Rice: While the chicken is simmering, prepare the rice according to package instructions. If you’re using cauliflower rice for a low-carb option, just sauté it lightly in a separate pan until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken and rice are cooking, slice your cucumbers, halve the cherry tomatoes, and prepare any additional veggies you’d like to add.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Once everything is ready, it’s time to assemble your bowls! Place a generous scoop of rice or cauliflower rice at the bottom, layer the buffalo chicken on top, and then pile on the fresh veggies. Don’t forget a sprinkle of gorgonzola for that creamy touch!
  6. Garnish & Serve: Finish the bowls with a few halved cherry tomatoes on top, and if you fancy more heat, splash a little extra buffalo sauce. Serve them warm, and watch your loved ones dive in!

Notes

Feel free to swap chicken for turkey or chickpeas, and adjust the level of buffalo sauce to your heat preference. Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
