Ingredients
1 pound chicken breast, thinly sliced
1/4 cup buffalo hot sauce (alcohol-free)
2 tablespoons honey
1.5 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
12 ounce bag frozen riced cauliflower
1 cup white rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Combine sliced chicken, buffalo sauce, honey, and 0.5 teaspoons of garlic powder in a bowl; marinate for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425°F and cook white rice according to package directions.
Spread frozen riced cauliflower on a baking sheet; toss with olive oil, salt, and remaining garlic powder.
Roast cauliflower for 25 minutes until tender and golden.
While cauliflower roasts, sear the marinated chicken in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
Assemble bowls by layering cooked rice and roasted cauliflower topped with prepared buffalo chicken.
Notes
Store in airtight containers for up to 4 days for meal prep.
For extra heat, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the chicken marinade.
Ensure all buffalo sauce brands used are alcohol-free to comply with dietary requirements.
