Back on the buffalo chicken kick?? Yep. This Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Rice Skillet recipe brings it! #NoShame.
After you make this you also will have zero shame and find yourself making it multiple times during the week.
It is the perfect way to use up your zucchini in the garden, eat healthier AND feel like you aren’t eating as healthy as you are.
Those ARE the best dinners. Am I right?
Just like the Quinoa Enchilada dinner of ours. I feel so satisfied but the amount of fiber and protein in that dinner alone makes it the perfect ‘cheat’ meal … without actually cheating.
That is this Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Rice Skillet as well.
You are more than welcome to make your own rice. I’ll stick to my efficient method. Throw it in the microwave while I begin browning the chicken and by the time I’m ready for the rice it’s just a simple, drain and dump into the skillet maneuver.
Efficiency … seriously I don’t have time for anything else lately.
We just need dishes just like this Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Rice Skillet.
