Description

Creamy, cheesy, spicy, filling – this Buffalo Chicken Chili is the perfect cozy, one-pot fall meal! It's so easy to make in just over 30 minutes, and it's always a hit. You can adjust the spice level to your preference to make it kid friendly.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup thinly sliced celery
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 lb. chicken breast
  • 1/2-3/4 cup Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce (depending on your spice preference)
  • 1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 2 1/2 cups Kettle and Fire Chicken Bone Broth
  • 1 can white or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • (Optional) for serving: avocado, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat avocado oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, then add in garlic and celery and continue cooking for 2-3 more minutes.
  2. Stir in the flour and salt and let it cook for a few seconds, then add in chicken, buffalo sauce, tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir well, then bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for ~20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Remove the chicken and use two forks to shred it. Optional: for a creamier chili (my preference), use an immersion blender to blend the broth. You can leave it as chunky or as smooth as you'd like.
  4. Add back in the shredded chicken, beans, yogurt & cheese and continue cooking for another 5 minutes before serving. Optional: top with more cheese, sour cream and avocado.

Notes

Let the chili cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

Alternatively, you can freeze this chili for up to 3 months. Let it defrost overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat it in a pot on the stove, stirring often until warmed through. You may need to add in extra broth to loosen it up.
