Ingredients

Buffalo Chicken:

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup Franks RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • salt and pepper, optional and to taste

Cauliflower Rice:

  • 2 12 oz. bags frozen cauliflower rice
  • salt and pepper, optional and to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder, optional and to taste

Salad:

  • 1 head romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes
  • 2 scallions
  • 2 avocados
  • 2 celery stalks
  • 1 lime

Optional:

  • Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing

Instructions

  • Add the buffalo sauce, minced garlic, salt and pepper, and water to post. Stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken breast and flip to make sure each side is coated in sauce. Add the two tablespoons of water.
  • Seal the lid and valve and cook on HIGH pressure for 10 minutes with a 10 minute natural release.
  • While the chicken is cooking, heat the cauliflower over low-heat in a nonstick skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder - optional and all to taste. Cooked 3-4 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Do a quick release on the Instant Pot to remove any remaining pressure.
  • Remove the chicken breasts and shred with two forks.
  • Set the Instant Pot to 'Saute' and add the cream cheese, stirring consistently until melted. Add the chicken back to the pot and stir to thoroughly coat.
  • Saute 3-5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken has absorbed much of the sauce.
  • Assemble your meal prep containers. Add the salad to the container or into a sandwich bag to remove from the container to heat.
  • Serve with freshly diced avocado and ranch dressing (or dressing of choice).

Notes

 
SAUCE: Be patient. The sauce will thicken and the chicken will absorb some of the liquid and sauce as it sauté's, as well as sits.
