Ingredients
  

  • 3 8 ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts diced into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup sweet yellow onion chopped
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese or cheese of choice

Instructions
 

  • Start by dicing your chicken and preparing your veggies.
  • Heat oil in a medium pot over medium-low heat. Add chopped onion and sliced peppers and cook for ~5 minutes.
  • Add paprika, cumin and salt; stir to combine and heat through. About 3 to 4 minutes.
  • While your veggies cook, heat a large skillet over high heat. Spray with cooking oil and add the chicken.
  • Cook until browned and cooked through in the center, about 5 minutes, flipping so it cooks on each side.
  • Set aside in a medium bowl and toss with hot sauce.

To serve

  • Pour 3/4 cup rice in each bowl and divide the chicken over the bowls.
  • Divide veggie toppings among the 4 bowls.
  • Top with cheese and serve immediately!

Notes

For meal prep
Refrigerate up to 4 days. To reheat, microwave about 3 minutes or until heated through.
