Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup buffalo sauce

2 cups cooked white rice

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/4 cup ranch dressing

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings: chopped green onions, avocado slices

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Rice: While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice according to the package instructions.

Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top with sliced chicken, chopped celery, shredded cheese, and any optional toppings.

Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle ranch dressing over the bowls and serve immediately.

Notes

For a healthier option, use brown rice or cauliflower rice.

You can adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less buffalo sauce.

Grilled or air-fried chicken works great with this recipe too.
