For the Easy Skillet Buffalo Chicken:
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed into bite-sized pieces
½ cup buffalo sauce
For the Simple Roasted Cauliflower:
1 small head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets (approx. 16 ounces or 4 cups florets)
1 overflowing tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
For the Bowls:
1 ½ cups cooked brown rice (½ cup dry, cooked according to package directions)
2 cups packed baby arugula or greens of choice
2 cups packed thinly sliced cabbage
2 large carrots, peeled and grated
4 ounces crumbled bleu cheese or shredded sharp white cheddar
For the Herby Ranch Yogurt Drizzle:
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley, or chives), chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Easy Skillet Buffalo Chicken:
In a skillet over medium heat, add the cubed chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
Pour in the buffalo sauce and stir to coat the chicken evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Prepare the Simple Roasted Cauliflower:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
On a baking sheet, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly browned, stirring halfway through.
3. Prepare the Herby Ranch Yogurt Drizzle:
In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, fresh herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
4. Assemble the Bowls:
In each bowl, layer the cooked brown rice, baby arugula, sliced cabbage, grated carrots, and roasted cauliflower.
Top with the buffalo chicken and sprinkle with crumbled bleu cheese or shredded cheddar.
Drizzle with the herby ranch yogurt.
5. Serve:
Enjoy your hearty buffalo chicken bowls warm, and feel free to add extra buffalo sauce or yogurt drizzle as desired!
