How to Make Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili

Place the raw chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker.

Add the diced onion, celery, minced garlic, drained beans, corn, ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, and chicken broth over the chicken.

Cover and cook on High for 4 hours or on Low for 7-8 hours.

Once the time is up, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.

Add the cubed cream cheese to the mixture. Cover again for 15-20 minutes until the cheese has melted.

Stir the chili vigorously until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Serve hot with blue cheese crumbles and sliced green onions.

·
For a thicker chili, mash half a cup of the beans before adding them to the pot.
·
Adjust the heat level by choosing a mild, medium, or hot buffalo wing sauce.
·
To prevent the cream cheese from curdling, ensure it is at room temperature before adding it to the slow cooker.
·
Garnish with celery leaves and blue cheese dressing for the full wing experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use chicken thighs instead?

How long do leftovers last?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Can I freeze this chili?

Yes, but it is best to freeze it before adding the cream cheese, as dairy can change texture when thawed.
