Spicy buffalo chicken meets wholesome quinoa in these flavorful bowls. Each bowl is packed with protein and fresh vegetables for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (mild or hot, to your preference)
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups chicken broth or water
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and chicken broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  2. Cook the chicken: While the quinoa cooks, cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Toss chicken with buffalo sauce: Reduce heat to low. Pour buffalo sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to coat evenly.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa among four bowls. Top each with the buffalo chicken.
  5. Add vegetables and garnish: Sprinkle chopped celery and shredded carrots over the chicken. If desired, add crumbled blue cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with roasted chickpeas or firm tofu.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your spice preference.
  • Prepare the quinoa and chicken ahead of time for quick meal prep.
  • You can add a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing for extra flavor.
