Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 1 cup chopped celery (about two stalks)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1½ teaspoons kosher salt (divided)
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • ¼ cup buffalo sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
  • 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (1 can)
  • 15.5 ounces white beans (1 can, rinses and drained)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1½ teaspoons dried oregano

  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • sour cream
  • blue cheese crumbles
  • chopped green onion

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat a large pot to a medium heat. Add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the ground chicken. Use a wooden spoon to break up the chicken as it browns, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the onion, celery, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the veggies are slightly softened.

  3. 3

    Stir in the chicken broth, buffalo sauce, canned tomatoes, white beans, cumin, oregano, honey, and remaining salt.

  4. 4

    Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Stir in cream cheese, and continue cooking until fully melted and incorporated.

  6. 6

    Serve bowls of chili with sour cream, green onion, and blue cheese crumbles, if desired.
