    Buffalo Chicken Chili

    Ingredients

    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
    1 pound all-white meat ground chicken breast (2 chicken breast)
    1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
    1 large onion, chopped
    3 ribs celery, chopped
    5 large cloves garlic, chopped
    1 tablespoon smoked paprika - I subbed chili powder & regular paprika
    1 bay leaf
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    2 cups chicken stock
    1/4 to 1/2 cup hot sauce, depending on how hot you like it (I used Frank's RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce)
    1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
    1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
    1 can red kidney beans (drained and rinsed well)

    Place a large pot over medium-high heat, add 1 turn of the pan of EVOO, about 1 tablespoon. Once the oil is hot, add the ground chicken. Brown it, using the back of a wooden spoon to break it up in to small pieces, about 5-6 minutes. Add the carrot, onion, celery, garlic, kidney beans, paprika, bay leaf and some salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes. Add the chicken stock and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot. Add the hot sauce, tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes, and bring up to a bubble. Simmer for 8-10 minutes to let the flavors come together.


    You can make it SUPER spicy or not spicy at all. It all depends on the hot sauce you use. I don't use all the ingredients either cause i'm not a big celery or tomato fan. I use tomato sauce.

    This is going to sound crazy, but I love bouillon with sliced serrano chilis. That's it. It's like 2 calories for a cup of Wyler's Beef Broth and 1/2 a serrano, and keeps me going if I get hungry between meals.

    I also love, love, love Buffalo Wild Wings Mango Habanero sauce. I just got some over the weekend and plan on making a stirfry with some veggies, lean chicken, and a Tbsp of the sauce (40 calories per Tbsp) for dinner tonight. YUM!
