Buffalo Chicken Bowl
So ever since baby number three came around (about six weeks ago) I’ve been trying really hard to be more healthy. I hate dieting, counting calories etc. (who likes it?) So I’ve been working on just changing my lifestyle to a healthy, happy, state that I can maintain.
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!

Great recipe! Used some precooked shredded chicken breast, reheated with Buffalo Sauce. Fast, easy, tasty and healthy, what more could you ask for?
So glad you liked it! I’ve done it with rotisserie chicken before too and I love how quick and easy it is! :)
Just found what we’re having for dinner tonight.
Hi – can you let me know how many pounds of chicken? Since chicken breasts can vary widely in size, I am struggling to figure out how many of my “chicken with rib meat” breasts to use. Thanks!
About 2 lbs! But if its a little more or a little less than that it shouldn’t matter! Good luck!
Perfect! Thanks! This is a family favorite of ours and we use for nachos, tacos, pizza topping. So versatile. I also freeze in muffin tins and then can use as a single serving. :) thanks for sharing
I’ve never thought of freezing it that way. That’s SMART. Thanks for sharing!
So much goodness in these bowls! LOVE!!!

Thank you! I hope you love it!
How spicy is recipe?
The buffalo sauce has a little kick but the ranch kinda mellows it out so it’s definitely not too bad! My kids eat it!
Can the chicken be frozen in the crock pot? Or should it be thawed?
So fresh and easy to make. Loved it and Its nice and healthy. Adding to my recipe book!
So savory and freSh. Delish!
I love easy, healthy meals like this! I need to try it soon!
These bowls are incredible! They are now on my weekly dinner rotation, and arent leaving ever. DELISH!
Yay! So glad you love them! We eat them ALL the time too!
I could eat this every night! Delicious!
Yay! I’m so glad! Thank you :)
these are so yummy and so easy! Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome!
I saw in the video it showed 3 chicken breast but in the recipe it says 6? Which is correct?
In the video we halved the recipe to show it easier, i’m so sorry for the confusion!
252 calories per serving which is how much? about 2-3 cups or so?
Do you have a nutrition fact chart available for this recipe? Would help me a lot, thanks!
I don’t yet but we are working on a new recipe plug in that will have one, so hopefully soon! Thanks for the feedback!
