Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering all your fresh veggies and the protein of your choice. Chop your preferred vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Next, slice the chicken into uniform chunks.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Sear the chicken pieces for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat and add the buffalo sauce to the cooked chicken. Stir well for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the chicken evenly.
  4. Create a base in serving bowls by layering shredded lettuce, brown rice, or quinoa. Add a portion of the buffalo chicken mixture on top, followed by an arrangement of your chopped veggies.
  5. Drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing over the assembled bowls. Serve warm to enjoy the vibrant flavors!
