Buffalo Chicken Bowls with Cauliflower Garlic Rice
This dish is a delicious combination of buffalo chicken, cauliflower rice with garlic, and cilantro lime ranch dressing.
Ingredients
For the buffalo chicken:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the cauliflower rice:
- 1 head cauliflower, riced or finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the cilantro lime ranch:
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then cook until browned and cooked through.
- Add buffalo sauce to the skillet and stir to coat the chicken. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- While the chicken is cooking, heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the riced cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cauliflower rice evenly among four bowls. Top with buffalo chicken and drizzle with cilantro lime ranch dressing.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your preferred spice level.
- For a vegan version, use a plant-based chicken substitute and a vegan ranch dressing.
- If you don't have cilantro, you can use parsley or green onions for the ranch dressing.
