Recipe: Buffalo Chicken Chili


It doesn't look like much, but it's good.  I adapted the recipe from something I saw on either (a) a major food manufacturer website or (b) a frugal mommy blog.  I don't remember, so now I'm claiming it.  It got a lot of positive feedback from my neighbor's Super Bowl party.

Almost-Famous Buffalo Chicken Chili

Most of a rotisserie chicken (like, cut off a breast to eat for dinner one night, then pick it clean and dice it up)
1 large onion, chopped
2 medium celery stalks, chopped
2 medium carrots (or about 15 baby carrots), chopped
1 (28 oz.) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 c. chicken broth
2 t chili powder
1/2 t salt
1/4 c. buffalo wing sauce

Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.  Mix all ingredients except wing sauce.  Cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours.  Stir in sauce.

I made it with 2 T of chili powder last time and, umm, had some bite to it.  Still really good, though.  I use "Most of a Rotisserie Chicken" because I have it on hand.  I hate raw chicken passionately.  If you, however, don't buy rotisserie chickens, the original recipes calls for "2 1/2 lbs. boneless chicken thighs, cooked, cut into pieces."
