When game day comes around, you\u2019ll want to have a rolodex of recipes to choose from. Enter this buffalo chicken chili. It\u2019s straightforward to prepare; you only need to combine some fridge and pantry staples in a slow cooker. This hearty soup depends on the spicy kick of buffalo sauce and the richness of cream cheese to evoke a sense of nostalgia. For an extra kick consider topping it off with crumbles of sharp blue cheese.<\/span><\/p>\n In a 4-or 5-quart <\/span>slow-cooker<\/span><\/a>, combine the navy beans, chicken broth, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, buffalo sauce, onion powder and garlic powder. Then add the chicken and cover the slow-cooker. Cook the ingredients on low for five to six hours\u2014or until the chicken is tender.<\/span><\/p>\n Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker. Next, stir in the cream cheese. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low until the cheese melts\u2014about 30 minutes. Stir everything until blended. Serve with desired toppings.<\/span><\/p>\n Allow your buffalo chicken chili to cool and come to room temperature. Then, divide it into smaller portions and store it in an airtight container. Refrigerate the leftovers for three to four days.<\/span><\/p>\n This buffalo chicken chili is ideal for game day celebrations. The nice part? You can make it a few days in advance. Follow the recipe and store it in the refrigerator for three to four days. Reheat it once you\u2019re ready to serve.<\/span><\/p>\n You can freeze this chili for up to two to three months. Storing it in a large silicone ice tray makes it easier to reheat the soup. When it\u2019s time to eat, pop the cubes out and melt them in a saucepan.<\/span><\/p>\n You can store buffalo chicken chili in the refrigerator for three to four days or in the freezer for two to three months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0You can use whichever buffalo sauce you prefer for this chili recipe. We\u2019ve rounded up a list of our go-to <\/span>hot sauces<\/span><\/a> that taste delicious in this dish. You can also make a homemade <\/span>buffalo sauce<\/span><\/a>, too.<\/span><\/p>\n This recipe is delicious and you can upgrade it further by adding any vegetables hanging out in your fridge like spinach, corn or zucchini. You can also mix in all types of beans, like pinto, black or kidney to boost its hardiness. Another option is to experiment with different cheeses, such as gouda, cheddar or pepper jack for added flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n For game day, a bowl of tortilla chips is one of the most delicious and simple sides you can serve with this chili. However, if you want to go the extra mile, bake <\/span>honey cornbread<\/span><\/a> or buttery rolls to eat with this decadent dish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This Buffalo chicken chili is rich in the best way.

The chicken easily shredded like a dream and the cream cheese gave this soup a perfect texture. I did chop up the optional toppings, celery, green onion & crumbled blue cheese.
