Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, season chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and cooked through.
Reduce heat to low, then add buffalo sauce and butter to the skillet. Stir until the butter is melted and the chicken is coated in the sauce. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Notes

For a milder version, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce.
Feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers or corn for extra nutrition.
This bowl is perfect for meal prep—just store ingredients separately and combine when ready to eat.
