Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or a rice blend)
- 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Add the shredded chicken and pour 1/2 cup buffalo sauce over it. Stir to coat evenly. Cook 3–5 minutes until heated through and the sauce is glossy.
- Divide 2 cups cooked rice among meal-prep containers or bowls. Fluff the rice first so it doesn’t compact.
- Top each rice portion with the buffalo-coated chicken.
- Scatter the diced celery and carrots on top for freshness and crunch.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup blue cheese over the bowls if using, or drizzle ranch for a milder finish.
- Serve immediately, or cool to room temperature then refrigerate for meal prep.
Notes
Adjust the buffalo sauce to your desired spice level. For a milder option, include ranch dressing instead of blue cheese.
