Buffalo Chicken & Rice Bowl

Buffalo sauce is the answer to all of my problems. Who feels the same way? I love incorporating buffalo sauce into my meals because they can make any healthy and nutritious meal taste 10x better.

I use Primal Kitchen's Buffalo Sauce that is made out of cashew butter so you get a healthy fat source! This bowl is filled with great sources of protein: chicken, Greek yogurt in the chicken marinade, and edamame.

It's the perfect balanced bowl to make yourself after a long day at school/work or after the gym! So, grab your favorite buffalo sauce and let's get cooking!

Primal Kitchen's Buffalo Sauce

1-2 TBSPs buffalo sauce depends how spicy you want it

Salt to your liking

Instructions:

1. First, preheat your oven to 400. Prep your chicken breast first - place your chicken breast in a Ziplock bag and use a meat pounder to flatten the chicken. In that same bag now add the ingredients in for the marinade. Mix the marinade around in the bag. Then add the chicken breast onto a baking sheet. Bake in the oven until cooked through. Probably 15 minutes.

2. While you're waiting, add ingredients 3-6 into a serving bowl. Have your rice medley and edamame warmed up. Add into the bowl.

3. The chicken should be done. Slice into thin strips and add to the bowl. What I like to do is taste a tiny piece of the chicken and see if it needs anything "extra" like salt or sauce.

4. I drizzled more buffalo sauce on the salad and the juice of ½ lemon. Then seasoned with salt. Enjoy!
