Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken and Brussels Sprouts
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
- 1 tablespoon buffalo sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup shaved Brussels sprouts
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Roasted Potatoes
- 2 cups potatoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure they roast evenly. Bake for about 25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Cook the Chicken: While the potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Add Buffalo Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the buffalo sauce and continue cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thoroughly coat the chicken and heat through.
- Cook the Brussels Sprouts: Add the shaved Brussels sprouts to the skillet with the buffalo chicken. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts become tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Assemble the Bowl: Serve the buffalo chicken and Brussels sprouts mixture over the crispy roasted potatoes on plates or bowls.
- Optional Dressing: Drizzle with ranch dressing as desired for a creamy contrast to the spicy buffalo flavors, then serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the diced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then dry thoroughly.
- You can substitute chicken breasts with boneless thighs for a juicier texture.
- Adjust buffalo sauce quantity to your preferred spice level.
- Ranch dressing is optional; blue cheese dressing also pairs well with buffalo flavor.
- This recipe can be made dairy-free by omitting ranch or using a dairy-free alternative.
