– 1 cup diced tomatoes

Instructions
Creating Buffalo Chicken Bowls is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, add the chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
2. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks.
3. Add Buffalo Sauce: Return the shredded chicken to the skillet. Pour in the Buffalo sauce and mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Heat for an additional 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
4. Prepare the Base: In serving bowls, layer the cooked brown rice or quinoa as the base.
5. Add Vegetables: Top the rice with chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, and corn.
6. Layer the Chicken: Spoon the Buffalo chicken mixture on top of the vegetables in each bowl.
7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken, followed by a dollop of Greek yogurt or ranch dressing.
8. Garnish: Finish off with chopped green onions and, if desired, sliced jalapeños for an extra kick.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Buffalo Chicken Bowls while warm!
