Buffalo Chicken & Roasted Cauliflower Bowl

Writer's picture: Nikki ShumannNikki Shumann

Okay, craving a Buffalo Chicken something, I just didn't know what UNTIL I made this bad boy. Alternative buffalo sauce for a cleaner option and a homemade herby yogurt dill dressing is all you need to feel satisfied.


What you'll need:

  • wild rice of any brand

  • organic chicken breast

  • Buffalo Sauce - if you like Frank's Buffalo Sauce, I highly recommend Primal Kitchen's Buffalo Sauce as a cleaner alternative

  • Pre-cut cauliflower (to save ya some time)

  • Green cabbage

  • Whole carrots (we'll julienne them for a fresher taste)

  • Celery

  • Homemade herby yogurt dressing (greek yogurt, dill, lemon)


How to do it:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees

  • Cook wild rice per instructions on the bag

  • Rinse the chicken breasts, pat dry, and lather with olive oil, salt & pepper; place on a baking sheet. Add the pre-cut cauliflower to the same baking sheet and lather with olive oil, sale & pepper (the cauliflower will absorb some of the chicken juices to add an extra layer of flavor)

  • Bake the chicken and the cauliflower for 30 minutes at 375 degrees

  • Prep the remaining ingredients: slice the celery, cabbage and carrots; set aside. (Hack: If you don't have a mandoline, I bought a cheap one on Amazon and use it for everyyyything!)

  • When the chicken and cauliflower are finished baking - pull the chicken off the pan and slice into cubes; toss the chicken in your buffalo sauce of choice

  • Assemble the bowl: wild rice, buffalo chicken, celery, carrots, cabbage, drizzle dressing


Here's the Herby Yogurt Dressing:

  • 3 tbsp Greek yogurt

  • 1 tbsp freshly chopped dill

  • A squeeze of half of a lemon

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste
