How to make buffalo chicken bowls

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with oil to grease it slightly. In a large bowl, toss chicken with egg and cornstarch until well-coated.
  2. Place chicken on baking sheet, seasoning with a bit of salt. Bake for 15-20 min until chicken is fully cooked.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare veggies and cook rice in a rice cooker. Divide among four meal prep bowls.
  4. Remove chicken from the oven and toss with buffalo wing sauce in another large bowl. Divide chicken up among bowls, along with veggies.
  5. Top with crumbled blue cheese and serve!

Ingredients and substitutions

  • chicken breasts – you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead
  • egg – you can use buttermilk or even regular milk in place of the egg. You just want something that is going to allow the cornstarch to stick to the chicken
  • cornstarch – you can use flour in place of the cornstarch or any type of gluten free flour
  • buffalo sauce – there really is no substitution here! Use your fave brand of wing sauce or make up a honey-BBQ sauce if you prefer a different type of wing sauce
  • brown rice or quinoa – these will work as the base, along with any other type of rice
  • celery, carrots, red onion, tomato and romaine lettuce – feel free to use any veggies you have on hand in the fridge
  • blue cheese – you can also use goat cheese or feta cheese
  • cilantro – this is an optional garnish that you can leave out

Making the bowls low carb

Feel free to leave out the rice or quinoa if you want to make these bowls low carb, or you can use cauliflower rice.

You will also want to leave the cornstarch and egg out as you will not want to bread the chicken. You will just want to bake or saute the chicken, then toss in the sauce.

Storing and reheating

You can store these bowls in the fridge up to 4 or 5 days. If you are wanting to reheat the bowls but don't want the veggies to be warm, I recommend storing the veggies separately.

You can reheat the chicken and rice together for 1-2 minutes in the microwave, making sure to sprinkle some water overtop before reheating so the chicken doesn't dry out.

Freezing the cooked chicken and rice

You can freeze both the chicken and rice but unfortunately you can't freeze the veggies. Feel free to freeze the chicken and rice in separate containers, then let them each defrost in the fridge overnight before reheating.

    Your website is amazing. My wife and I spend time every week looking it over for new ideas. Your website helped me find recipes so that we could meal prep and focus on our wedding. Thank you! Now post wedding, the flavors are so good, I’m still coming back! Keep it up!

    Hello, Taylor. I’m so glad that I found your blog using the Google search engine. I would like to get started on meal prepping for lunch because I’m determined to save money and getting bored to death of bringing sandwiches, wraps and bagels to work. My goal is to plan accordingly by compiling a grocery list so I know what to purchase and stay within my budget.

    Cornstarch? I have never heard of using cornstarch like that!

      It helps create a great coating for the chicken 🙂

    Do you eat these cold or warm them up?

      I do both! It depends on what you have time for and if you have access to a microwave – I usually pack the veggies separately if I’m warming them up 🙂
