Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Combine chicken breasts, chicken thighs, chopped onion, buffalo wing sauce, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, green chiles, ranch seasoning mix, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and chicken broth in a slow cooker. (5 minutes)

02

Step
4 hrs

Cover and cook on High for 2 hours or on Low for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds. (2-4 hours)

03

Step
10 mins

Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks. (10 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker. Stir in the drained and rinsed white beans and softened cream cheese until well combined. (5 minutes)

05

Step
15 mins

Cover and continue to cook until the cream cheese is fully melted and the chili is creamy, about 15 minutes. If a thinner consistency is desired, add additional chicken broth to reach your preferred thickness. (15 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Serve hot, garnished with sour cream, shredded Cheddar cheese, and green onions. Drizzle with additional buffalo wing sauce for an extra kick, if desired. (5 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken thighs in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This adds depth and complexity to the chili.
If you prefer a milder chili, reduce the amount of buffalo wing sauce or use a mild variety. You can also add a touch of honey or brown sugar to balance the heat.
The chili can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking. Diced avocado, crumbled blue cheese, or a sprinkle of cilantro would all be delicious additions.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with cauliflower florets or cubed sweet potatoes.
