Buffalo Chicken Chili

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all the ingredients listed and prepare as instructed (roughly chop vegetables, grind chicken in food processor, measure seasonings, etc.).

2. 2

   Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground chicken. Season lightly with salt and pepper and cook, breaking it up, until mostly cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the roughly chopped onion, carrots, celery, and bell pepper to the food processes - nearly puree then add to the pot. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, just until slightly softened.

4. 4

   Add all remaining ingredients to the pot beans, tomatoes, Franks sauce, and spices.

5. 5

   Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavorful.

6. 6

   Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with blue cheese crumbles, green onions, or a drizzle of ranch.
