  • 1 teaspoon paprika color and mild sweetness
  • to taste Salt and pepper seasoning

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup buffalo sauce store-bought or homemade, spicy flavor
  • 2 cups cooked rice white or brown, base and texture
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh, canned, or frozen, sweetness
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed, protein and bulk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese richness
  • 2 green onions sliced, freshness
  • 1 avocado sliced, creamy texture
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing creaminess

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Baking Chicken

  • Spread the seasoned chicken pieces onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake the chicken for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.

Assembly

  • While the chicken bakes, warm the buffalo sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, pour the buffalo sauce over it and toss gently.
  • In individual serving bowls, layer your ingredients starting with cooked rice.
  • Add a portion of buffalo chicken on top of the rice.
  • Layer on corn kernels and black beans.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  • Add sliced green onions and avocado.
  • Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, ensure uniform chicken pieces for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet and let bowls rest for a few minutes before serving.
