Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, tenders or breasts
  • 1/4 + cup Frank's RedHot Wings sauce
  • 1/2 large sweet onion diced
  • 1/2 cup celery diced
  • 2 cans Great Northern white beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 can fire roasted tomatoes drained
  • 2 tbsp chili powder blend
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp powdered garlic
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp avocado or extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 4 oz tomato puree (optional)

Instructions
 

  • First, prepare the chicken. You'll need 1 – 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken, and you can use chicken thighs, chicken tenders or breasts. Trim the chicken, and cut into chunks about 1/2 inch in size. Season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and ground black pepper.
  • In a large heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil. Add the chicken and cook for about 5 – 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While the chicken is cooking, peel and dice 1/2 of a large onion (or a medium onion). Dice about 1/2 cup of celery ribs. Add the onion and celery to the chicken, and cook for about 5 minutes, just until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Add the spices to the chicken chili. Measure out 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 teaspoons ground cumin and 2 tablespoons chili powder. Give the mixture a stir and let this cook for a minute or two.
  • Add 3 cups of chicken broth. Add one can of fire roasted tomatoes. I've drained the juice before adding. Drain and rinse the 2 cans of great northern white beans, and add to the chicken chili. If you stop here, you'll have a really delicious white bean chicken chili.
  • Next to add the Franks Hot Sauce for the buffalo chicken flavor. I've got 1/2 cup of Franks Red Hot Wing Sauce, and I'll stir in about half of that to start, so about 1/4 cup. You can add more if you like it spicier. Give the chili a stir, and then simmer uncovered for 20 – 30 minutes to let the spices meld together and to get the chicken nice and tender.
