Preparation Steps
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the diced chicken pieces with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread the seasoned chicken on the baking tray.
- Bake the chicken for about 15 minutes until cooked through and golden, checking halfway through for even cooking.
- While the chicken is baking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, stir in hot sauce and allow to simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- After the chicken is done, toss it in the prepared buffalo sauce until well coated.
- To serve, layer cooked quinoa or rice in bowls, top with buffalo chicken, mixed greens, and your choice of carrots or celery. Drizzle ranch dressing and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
