Ingredients
– 1 pound ground chicken
– 15 oz (about 425 g) canned white navy beans drained and rinsed
– 14.5 oz (about 411 g) can fire roasted tomatoes drained
– 2 cups (480 ml) chicken broth
– 1/4 to 1/2 cup (60 to 120 ml) buffalo wing sauce
– 1 cup (about 150 g) frozen corn kernels
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
– 1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese
– Blue cheese crumbles optional for topping
Instructions
1-First, brown the ground chicken completely in a skillet over medium heat until it’s no longer pink. This step locks in the flavor and ensures everything cooks evenly later. Once done, transfer it to your slow cooker.
2-Next, add the drained white navy beans, fire roasted tomatoes, chicken broth, buffalo wing sauce (starting with 1/4 cup), frozen corn kernels, onion powder, garlic powder, celery salt, dried cilantro, and salt. Stir everything together to mix well, making sure all those flavors start to blend.
3-Then, place the block of cream cheese on top of the mixture without stirring it in yet. Cover the slow cooker and let it cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. The slow cooking process allows the ingredients to meld into a creamy, spicy delight.
4-After cooking, stir the cream cheese into the chili until it’s fully incorporated and creamy. Taste and adjust the buffalo wing sauce to your preferred spice level it might need a bit more for that extra kick. Finally, serve it up hot with optional blue cheese crumbles on top for a tasty finish. This method gives the chili its thicker consistency, setting it apart from soups or traditional chili styles.
