Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions

Instructions
- Step 1: Begin by preparing the buffalo sauce. In a small bowl, combine the hot sauce and melted butter. Mix well and set aside.
- Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Step 3: Reduce the heat to low and pour the buffalo sauce over the cooked chicken. Stir to coat the chicken evenly. Allow it to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, absorbing the sauce’s flavors.
- Step 4: Prepare the serving bowls by adding a base layer of cooked rice.
- Step 5: Divide the buffalo chicken evenly among the bowls, placing it over the rice.
- Step 6: Top each bowl with shredded lettuce and halved cherry tomatoes.
- Step 7: Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
- Step 8: Garnish with thinly sliced green onions. If desired, add slices of avocado for extra creaminess.
- Step 9: Serve immediately while the chicken is hot, and enjoy the flavorful combination.
