Instructions
- Rinse the rice and cook in 300ml salted water — boil, cover, simmer 12 min, rest 5 min off heat.
- Slice the chicken breast into thick strips. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken 5–6 min per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and rest 2 min.
- In the same pan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the hot sauce and stir to combine into a glossy buffalo sauce.
- Slice the chicken and return to the pan. Toss in the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
- Finely slice the celery. Mix Greek yogurt with a pinch of dried dill for a quick ranch-style dip.
- Serve rice in bowls, top with buffalo chicken and sliced celery, drizzle with the ranch yogurt.
