Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
Vegetables
- 2 cups potatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup shaved Brussels sprouts
Seasonings & Sauces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon buffalo sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly and become crispy.
- Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for 25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
- Cook Chicken: While potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken breast and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add Buffalo Sauce: Stir the buffalo sauce into the cooked chicken in the skillet and allow it to cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well coated in the sauce.
- Sauté Brussels Sprouts: Add the shaved Brussels sprouts to the skillet with the buffalo chicken. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts have softened but still have a slight crispness.
- Assemble the Bowl: Serve the buffalo chicken and shaved Brussels sprouts mixture over the roasted potatoes in individual bowls for a complete meal.
- Add Dressing and Serve: Drizzle ranch dressing over the assembled bowl, if desired, to add a creamy contrast to the spicy buffalo flavor, then serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispy potatoes, spread them out without crowding on the baking sheet.
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breast for lean protein; thighs can be substituted for a juicier texture.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your preferred spice level.
- Ranch dressing is optional but pairs well to balance spiciness.
- Shaved Brussels sprouts can be substituted with kale or cabbage if unavailable.
