Bold and flavorful Buffalo Chicken Rice Bowls with spicy chicken, seasoned rice, black beans, and melted cheese, perfect for fast family meals or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 180 g cooked rice (about 3/4 cup) per bowl
  • 2 cups black beans, rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
  • 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce
  • 1 cup cheese, shredded
  • Scallions, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a medium pot over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook until caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add black beans, paprika, cumin, and salt; stir and heat through for 3-4 minutes.
  3. In a large skillet, heat over high heat, add chicken, and sear for about 5 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Transfer chicken to a bowl and toss with hot sauce.
  5. To serve, layer 3/4 cup rice in each bowl, top with 1/4 cup beans and cheese, then add the chicken.
  6. If eating right away, microwave bowls for 30 seconds to melt cheese, then top with scallions.
  7. For meal prep, store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days, reheating as needed.

Notes

Rest cooked chicken for 2 minutes before tossing in sauce to keep juices. For a crispy texture, broil the chicken for 1-2 minutes after saucing.
