Gorgeous pictures. I made these buffalo chicken quinoa bowls for the super bowl party and it was a crowd favorite. I'm also gonna pin this post on my Pinterest board my followers will love it. Thanks for sharing, Krista!

Loved this so much I am making it again tonight, one week later! I swapped the cream cheese with Greek yogurt to make it a little lighter and it was the perfect substitute. I also sprinkled a little feta cheese on the top before serving. My husband loves buffalo sauce so he loved this dish. Thanks for the recipe... it’ll be one we use often!

Add it easy to mix in the cream cheese and the sauce.  Very healthy and filling, but not a heavy meal.  We posted pics on FB, and everyone loved it!

Delicious high protein Buffalo Chicken Rice Bowls are made with chicken breast, black beans, brown rice, cheese and smothered in hot sauce. Perfect for meal prep!

Buffalo Chicken Rice Bowls

8 ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts (diced into 1/2 inch cubes)

olive or canola oil

paprika

tsp cumin

salt

canned low sodium black beans (rinsed and drained)

buffalo sauce (Franks)

brown rice

part-skim cheddar cheese (or dairy-free cheddar)

scallions

Heat oil in a medium pot over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook until they have caramelized slightly, about 5 minutes.

Add black beans, paprika, cumin and salt; stir to combine and heat through, 3 to 4 minutes.

While that cooks, heat a large skillet over high heat, when hot spray with 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 the hot sauce.

Pour 3/4 cup rice in each bowl, top each with 1/4 cup beans and cheese, divide the chicken over the bowls.

If eating right away, I like to melt the cheese by putting it in the microwave 30 seconds. Top with scallions.

To serve

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

For meal prep

Cover and cook on HIGH 4 hours or LOW 6 hours.

Remove the chicken from pot, reserve 1/2 cup broth and discard the rest (or save for other recipes).

Shred the chicken with two forks, return to the slow cooker with the 1/2 cup of the broth and the hot sauce.

Meanwhile, pierce potato with a fork a few times all around.

Place in microwave and cook on high about 5 minutes per potato; set aside to cool.

Cut potatoes in half horizontally.

Scoop out potatoes (I save the extra potato to make skinny garlic mashed potatoes the next day) leaving about 1/4 inch thick wall, skins will weigh about 1 oz each.

Heat oven to 450°.

Lightly spray potato skins on both sides with oil and place a foil lined baking sheet.

Season with salt and pepper and bake 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven, add 2 tablespoons of chicken meat filling into each potato skin, top with 1 tbsp shredded cheese and bake 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
