How to make buffalo chicken chili

Brown the ground chicken in the pot. Add the veggies with some salt and cook until softened. Stir in the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes and season to taste.

Can you make it ahead of time?

Yes! As with other chili recipes, this buffalo chicken chili is great for weekly meal prep. Place the cooled chili into an airtight container in the fridge and it will keep well for up to 4 days. Reheat the chili on the stovetop on a medium heat until warmed through, or in the microwave for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Can you freeze Buffalo Chicken Chili?

Yes! If you are anything like me, you always have some chili in the freezer! Freeze the cooled chili in a freezer safe container, or in portions in sealable freezer bags and it will keep well for up to 6 months. Thaw the chili in the fridge overnight before reheating to serve.

What do you serve it with?

A big bowl of this chili is all you really need, or for a fuller meal, serve it over some rice or with some cornbread muffins. For me, no chili is complete without some toppings! You can go traditional with some shredded cheese, sliced avocado, but I like to use blue cheese and green onions for this variation – it works so well with the buffalo flavor. Sour cream is non-negotiable. This buffalo chicken chili has become one of our go to weeknight meals! It’s so hearty and comforting and that buffalo sauce gives it just the right amount of zing!
