The beauty of this Buffalo Chicken Collagen Bowl recipe lies in its simplicity and healthful ingredients. We’re ditching the excess grease and calories and replacing them with wholesome components that don’t compromise on flavor. Here’s why this guilt-free recipe is a must-try:

Black beans are an excellent source of fiber and protein, making them a fantastic addition to this bowl. They add texture, flavor, and a nutritional boost to keep you feeling satisfied.

Buffalo Chicken Collagen Bowl Recipe!
Ingredients
- 3 8 ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts (diced into 1/2 inch cubes)
- 1 teaspoon olive or canola oil
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup canned low sodium black beans, rinsed, and drained
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- 1 scoop Super Youth Unflavored
- 3 cups cooked brown rice
- 1/2 cup part-skim cheddar cheese (or dairy-free cheddar)
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
Steps
- Heat oil in a medium pot over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook until they have caramelized slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Add black beans, paprika, cumin and salt; stir to combine and heat through, 3 to 4 minutes.
- While that cooks, heat a large skillet over high heat, when hot spray with oil and add the chicken.
- Cook until browned and cooked through in the center, about 5 minutes, flipping so it cooks on each side.
- Set aside in a medium bowl, mix the Super Youth and hot sauce, mix the chicken and Super Youth hot sauce.
To serve:
- Pour 3/4 cup rice in each bowl, top each with 1/4 cup beans and cheese, divide the chicken over the bowls.
- If eating right away, I like to melt the cheese by putting it in the microwave 30 seconds. Top with scallions.
For meal prep:
- Refrigerate up to 4 days. To reheat, microwave about 3 minutes or until heated through.
