This Buffalo Chicken Rice Bowl is a meal prep must. It's high in protein and has a creamy buffalo sauce that you will absolutely love. This recipe is one that you won't get tired of eating for lunch all week long which to me is the most important part when it comes to meal prep.

Instructions
Heat a pan over medium, spray with cooking spray and add the cubed chicken. Season with salt and pepper and cook until it is fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center approximately 8-10 minutes.
While the chicken cooks add the hot sauce, garlic powder and syrup to a sauce pan and whisk while boiling to thicken some. Once the chicken is cooked through add the greek yogurt to the sauce and mix until it is fully combined. Pour the sauce into the pan with the chicken and mix to coat.
Cook the cauliflower rice and basmati according to their package instructions. Mix them two together in a bowl and drizzle with some lime juice.
Assemble the buffalo chicken rice bowl with rice blend, cooked buffalo sauce covered chicken, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, chopped green onions and ranch dressing.
