Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup buffalo wing sauce (use your favorite brand)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional toppings: Blue cheese crumbles, ranch dressing, sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded chicken, black beans, cannellini beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, diced green chilies, chicken broth, buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper into the basin of your slow cooker.
  2. Stir all ingredients together until they are well combined.
  3. Cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, add the cubed cream cheese to the chili. Stir gently until the cream cheese has melted and the chili is creamy. Do not over-stir once the cream cheese is incorporated.
  5. Taste the chili and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Serve hot with your choice of toppings like blue cheese crumbles or a drizzle of ranch dressing.

Notes

  • For a spicier chili, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper with the other seasonings.
  • If you prefer a stove top method, combine all ingredients except the cream cheese in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the cream cheese until melted before serving.
  • This recipe makes great leftovers and freezes well for future weeknight dinners.
