A huge aspect of making healthy eating maintainable for me is that food still has to be filling and taste good! These shredded buffalo chicken bowls manage both of those things, with flair! My sister gave me the recipe, and I have eaten them at least twice a week ever since.. guilt free!

How many does this serve?
8!
So do you eat these cold?
The chicken is warm but the rest is room temperature! For leftovers I sometimes eat them cold and they are good either way!
These dishes are very tasty, easy to make and long preserved in the refrigerator. My husband and I like it.
We eat often. I hope you can introduce more on the page for me to learn.

Yay! So glad you like it!
Would this stil be good to cook a big batch and freeze it. Then thaw, reheat and eat?
You could absolutely cook a big batch of the chicken and freeze! I proabably wouldn’t freeze and thaw those veggies though!
I have NEVER been a big Chicken person, but I Love avocados & cherry Tomatoes… I cooked this tonight and my husband LOVED it… So I gave it a try and WOW I am hooked. I love that it is filling but also healthy…Thanks so much!!!
Aw! Your comment just made my night! I am so glad you liked it! Finding great healthy meals really is so hard! Thanks for taking the time to come back and let me know you loved it as much as I do! ????
Oh my gosh yum!!! Making this ASAP!
Yay! So glad you like it!
So how do you make the dressing? Ad d the packet, the milk, and the yogurt? Or do you make the dressing using the directions on the back of the packets, then add milk, and then yogurt??
you just add the packet, milk, and yogurt and mix and then you’re done!
This looks so good and easy. I even think my hubby would like it with a couple of changes. He only like thousand island dressing and hates avocado. Any suggestions on substitutions while staying healthy?
You could totally just leave out the avocado and have everyone dress their own! These babies are super adaptable so it should be easy to make sure everyone is happy! Good luck!
Do you eat it cold or hot?
Do you eat it cold or hot?
The chicken is hot but the rest is kinda just room temperature! The truth is its good either way!

How would you allocate this recipe to the 21 day fix containers? 1 Red, 1 green, 1 blue? I’m new at this so your advice would be greatly appreciated!
I’m not sure! I have never done 21 day fix so I can’t really give advice on that! Best of luck though! :)

This is my amateur opinion, but unfortunately, both beans and corn count as a carb, so it would be at least 1 yellow too. You could probably back off a bit on the corn and black beans by putting all of this over lettuce and then that would get you another green. Dressing is usually an orange, but since this uses Greek yogurt, which is a red, you can probably just include it with the red from the chicken, as long as you use it sparingly. I would portion all of these ingredients out in your containers and you should have a tasty meal!
That’s what I was thinking. Not too much beans and corn. More lettuce instead. Love that it’s greek yoghurt! I think it will be both delicious and 21 day fix approved with a few modifications… Can’t wait to try it!

Does anyone know how many weight watchers points this would be? Need to know calories per serving, along with fat, carbs, protein, and fiber.
You can add all the ingredients to the app (basically “build” the recipe) ad it will tell you the points!

I am always looking for healthy lunch ideas and this looks so good! I really want to make it but am a little nervous about cooking the chicken in just hot sauce in the slow cooker. I just want to make sure there is no other liquid needed and that it won’t burn?
No it won’t burn, promise! I have made this loads of times without any problem! Just try to make sure the chicken is all coated and you could stir a couple times to make sure the same edges are t touching the sides to be extra safe.. But I’ve never had any issues! Good luck!
Oh my goodness these sound amazing!! You had me at “buffalo”…and the healthy part is a total bonus!
Yay! I’m so glad you’re excited, thanks for your comment ????
This sounds fantastic!! Excited to try this – thanks for sharing your recipe!
You are so welcome!! Thank you ☺️
Yum, this looks delicious! Must try!
Thank you! You will love it!
I’m trying to eat healthier too and these bowls look delicious!! I also love that you put ranch on it! I love buffalo sauce but can’t stand bleu cheese…ranch is the only way to go!!
This looks wonderful and so healthy too! I’m adding it to my list of dinner ideas. Would be great for my lunches too!
Yes! Lots of times I use it for a quick lunch, without the chicken, if I’m in a hurry!
My mouth is watering!!!
You will love them!!
