Expert Tips

  • Additional Toppings: These buffalo chicken bowls are super easy to customize to your flavor preferences. You can make the recipe as is or assemble your bowls with additional ingredients like beans or veggies. Some other delicious mix-ins include black beans, cherry tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles, feta cheese, romaine lettuce, chickpeas, and more! 
  • Dairy-Free: If you’re dairy-free, swap the Greek yogurt in the ranch for your favorite dairy-free yogurt alternative, and be mindful of any additional ingredients you choose.
