Less difficult meal prep recipes are this Taco Salad, Greek Chicken Rice Bowls, and Honey Sriracha Chicken and Broccoli Bowls.

Buffalo Chicken Bowls Ingredients

• Chicken: Cut three boneless, skinless chicken breasts into half-inch cubes.
• Onions: Dice a half cup of red onion. Be happy to make use of yellow onion in case you don’t have red.
• Seasoning: Paprika, cumin, salt
• Black Beans: Rinse and drain one can of low-sodium black beans.
• Buffalo Sauce: You’ll be able to buy it premade or make a quick homemade buffalo sauce with Frank’s Red Hot, melted butter, and garlic powder.
• Brown Rice: Swap it with white rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice in case you prefer.
• Cheese: You’ll need half a cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
• Scallions for garnish

Tips on how to Make Buffalo Chicken Rice Bowls

• Onions and Black Beans: Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium-low heat, add the onions, and cook until they’ve barely caramelized. Stir within the beans, spices, and salt, and cook for just a few minutes.
• Chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Next, heat a big skillet over high heat, and spray it with oil when hot. Cook the chicken for about five minutes, flipping it so it browns on all sides. Transfer the chicken to a bowl and toss with hot sauce.
• Assemble the Bowls: Put rice in each bowl and top with the bean mixture, cheese, and chicken. If you happen to’re eating the bowls immediately, I prefer to microwave them for 30 seconds to melt with cheese. Then top with scallions.

Tips on how to Meal Prep Buffalo Chicken Bowls

You’ll be able to make ahead these buffalo chicken bowls and eat for quick meals over the following few days. Layer all of the ingredients in small glass containers and store them within the fridge for as much as 4 days. If you’re able to eat, reheat them within the microwave until warm.
