A delicious and easy meal prep recipe featuring roasted chicken tossed in a tangy buffalo sauce, served over cauliflower rice with fresh veggies and a creamy Greek yogurt drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice
  • 1 large green bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, julienned or shredded
  • 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place in a large bowl.
  3. Add melted butter, hot sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the chicken. Toss to coat evenly and let sit for 10 minutes.
  4. Place chicken on the baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes.
  5. While chicken rests, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and dill in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt.
  6. Prepare vegetables by dicing the bell pepper, slicing the onion, and julienning the carrots.
  7. Assemble bowls by layering cauliflower rice, chopped chicken, and vegetables. Drizzle generously with the yogurt sauce.
  8. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

For best results, add the yogurt sauce right before eating to keep veggies crisp. If meal prepping for the week, the chicken stays moist in an airtight container. You can swap cauliflower rice for brown rice or quinoa, and chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts with a slightly longer cooking time.
