Buffalo Chicken Rice Bowls

Buffalo chicken rice bowl is everything you need in a meal in one bowl so all the flavors and textures blend and you practically melt with joy!

Rice Bowls with Buffalo Chicken

These buffalo chicken rice bowls taste incredible and it's everything you need in a meal, with tender chicken, fresh veggies, and rice, covered with smoky buffalo sauce and homemade Ranch #getinmybelly!

For the buffalo chicken, you won't find fried wings coated in electric orange sauce. While those are perfectly delicious, I prefer the lighter version with shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. I make chicken buffalo in the slow cooker effortlessly to get the perfect meal builder. You can also cook it on the skillet or toss rotisserie chicken meat with buffalo sauce and voilá!

Since I use this buffalo chicken in both dinners and lunches, I'll usually double or triple the recipe, to make sure there's enough to go around. You can also freeze the chicken in single-serve portions so if you want to save some for meals the following week; you're covered.

Ingredients

While I like to keep traditional buffalo chicken flavors like Blue cheese and Ranch, I thought fresh veggies would add a nice touch to the rice bowls. Check what you need:

• Rice: regular rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb swap.
• Buffalo chicken: the slow cooker is my favorite method for cooking it, but you can also use rotisserie or pan-seared chicken.
• Avocado: adds tons of nutrition and creaminess.
• Cherry tomatoes: fresh and juicy!
• Red onion: a flavorful, crunchy addition.
• Crumbled Blue cheese: pairs amazingly well with buffalo chicken.
• Ranch dressing: my homemade recipe is super easy and tasty, but you can always use the bottled one.
