Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce Adjust according to spice preference.
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles Optional.
Garnish
  • Green onions, chopped For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If you haven’t already, cook your chicken breasts by baking, boiling, or using a pressure cooker. Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks or a hand mixer.
  2. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce and stir well until every piece is coated.
  3. In meal prep containers, portion out the cooked brown rice or quinoa and spread it evenly across the bottom.
  4. Place the steamed broccoli and shredded carrots gently on top of the rice/quinoa.
  5. Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture over the vegetables and optionally sprinkle blue cheese on top.
  6. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
  7. Let the bowls cool, seal with lids, and store in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

Notes

For substitutions, use feta cheese or omit cheese altogether. For added creaminess, include avocado. Ensure rice or quinoa is fully cooked before layering to avoid undercooked grains ruining the meal prep experience. Chicken should cool slightly before mixing with sauce.
