Step-by-Step Instructions for Buffalo Chicken Bowls

Begin by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
In a heavy skillet over medium heat, add oil and cook the chicken for 7-10 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Reduce heat to low, pour in buffalo sauce, and stir to coat the chicken. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to intensify flavor.
Prepare the rice or greens as the base. Cook rice according to package instructions or wash and dry greens.
In each serving bowl, layer rice or greens followed by the buffalo chicken mixture.
Top with dressing, green onions, and cheddar cheese if desired. Serve warm.
