You know I'm the queen of "throw everything in a bowl" recipes. Some of my favorites are my Cooked Salmon Poke Bowl, Ground Turkey Egg Roll in a Bowl and Mediterranean Quinoa Bowls with Tahini Dressing.
I love this one because it's super different. I've never seen a recipe like this before.
I'm obsessed with all things buffalo. You know I use my Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce all the time. So, naturally, I had to make a "throw everything in a bowl" recipe featuring some buffalo sauce.
Not only is this bowl super flavorful, it's also filled with protein, healthy fats, and carbs. Super well balanced, in my opinion!
Ingredients in this recipe
- thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken breast
- seasonings (paprika, chili powder, garlic powder and salt and pepper)
- olive oil
- spring mix
- broccoli slaw mix or coleslaw mix
- cooked white rice, brown rice or cauliflower rice - To make my life easier, I use frozen cooked rice
- blue cheese crumbles
- buffalo sauce (I used Primal Kitchen’s Buffalo Sauce) - You can purchase Primal Kitchen's Buffalo Sauce HERE. Use code "frozenbananas" at checkout for discount!
- thinly sliced scallions

Meal Prep this Recipe!
This is an awesome meal prep recipe. Simply, make the chicken and rice in advance. You can leave the chicken stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3 days.
To make my life even easier, I use frozen cooked rice so I just have to microwave it right before I make my bowl. The day you're going to enjoy the bowl, assemble all of the ingredients.
Alternatively, if you're going to meal prep this to take on the go, you can put the bowl together with all of the ingredients except for the buffalo sauce. Store the assembled bowl in an airtight container in the fridge. Store the sauce separately and pour over when you're ready to enjoy.
