Cooking Instructions
- Heat oil in a medium pot over medium-low heat. Add the diced red onions and cook them until they are slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add the rinsed and drained black beans to the pot with onions. Season with paprika, cumin, and kosher salt. Stir well to combine and continue heating for 3 to 4 minutes until the beans are warmed through and aromatic.
- While the beans cook, heat a large skillet over high heat. Spray the skillet with oil to prevent sticking, then add the diced chicken breasts. Cook for about 5 minutes, flipping occasionally to brown the chicken evenly and ensure it is cooked through in the center.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a medium bowl and toss it thoroughly with the buffalo sauce, ensuring all pieces are coated.
- In serving bowls, spoon 3/4 cup of cooked brown rice. Top each with 1/4 cup of the warm black beans mixture and sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beans and rice. Distribute the buffalo chicken over the prepared bases.
- If serving immediately, microwave the assembled bowls for about 30 seconds to melt the cheddar cheese for a gooey texture.
- Finish each bowl by sprinkling with chopped scallions for a fresh bite and serve hot.
- These bowls can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. To reheat, microwave each bowl for about 3 minutes or until heated through, ensuring the cheese melts again.
