  2. Cook the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker, pour sauce mixture over, cover, and cook on low for about 4 hours or high for 6 hours.
  3. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove chicken, shred it with forks, and return it to the slow cooker to mix with remaining sauce.
  4. Cook the Rice: Prepare basmati rice by combining 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water, bring to boil, then simmer covered on low for about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Assemble the Meal Prep Bowls: Layer cooked rice in containers, top with shredded buffalo chicken, and ensure even distribution.
  6. Add Fresh Toppings: Divide diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, and green onion into separate containers to add fresh when serving.
  7. Store for Later: Seal meal prep containers. Store in the fridge for 4-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
