We are loving this healthy family meal made with creamy buffalo chicken and rice. This recipe transforms your favorite appetizer dip and turns it into an easy dinner so what’s not to love?! This post has been sponsored by Sprouts. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that keep Kroll’s Korner running! If you’re a big bell pepper fan, make sure to check out my Spicy Quinoa Stuffed Peppers (they’re vegetarian!), Italian Sausage and Peppers Pasta (a reader fave!), and my Sausage, Peppers, & Rice Skillet (I love a one-pan meal!).
Rotisserie Chicken: this meal comes together easily with thanks to a rotisserie chicken I like to take some shortcuts to make things a little easier so I picked up a whole roasted chicken from Sprouts! This month they actually have a fun flavor it’s pickle brined it’s tangy and downright delicious and goes perfectly in this recipe. I feel really good about buying roasted chickens from Sprouts because I know that they have no antibiotics and the chickens are humanely raised! Buffalo sauce: you can either make a homemade buffalo sauce or you can buy a bottled buffalo sauce such as Frank’s or we also really like that buffalo sauce from Primal Kitchen which can be found at Sprouts as well. Greek yogurt: using a plain Greek yogurt not only adds a little bit more protein to this meal and is a healthier alternative to cream cheese. Mozzarella and cheddar cheese: be sure to buy a block of cheese and shred yourself instead of purchased pre-grated. The block cheese will melt better than the packaged cheeses! Jasmine rice: any long grain white rice will do! This is also great if you have some leftover rice in the fridge you need to use. I usually like to buy instant rice for this recipe because it just takes 90 seconds in the microwave to cook instead of taking ~20-25 minutes on the stove to prepare the rice. Bell peppers: you can use your favorite colored bell peppers for this recipe. Be sure that the bell peppers are a decent size to make this a hearty meal. If you want to turn this dinner idea into an appetizer you can buy the mini bell peppers and use those! Since the mini bell peppers are smaller you can skip the pre-cooking step and just go ahead stuff them and bake for 20 minutes.
