Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili
I made this slow cooker buffalo chicken chili today and just couldn’t stop eating it. It is so creamy and packed with so much flavor. I will definitely be adding this chili to the dinner rotation. Here are few notes about the different ingredients:
Chicken: I used frozen chicken tenders and ended up cooking for 4 hours on low. If you want to use frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts then cook for 6 hours on low.
Buffalo sauce: If you’re scared that it will be too spicy simply use less buffalo sauce.
Fire roasted tomatoes: The fire roasted tomatoes bring a bit of heat so if you want it to be less spicy you can substitute them with regular petite diced tomatoes.
Celery: I added the celery at the beginning of the cooking time because I wanted it to be soft. However, if you want more of a crunch you can add the celery at the end.
Bleu cheese crumbles: If you hate bleu cheese, just leave it out. I like just a bit on top of my soup to bring it a different dimension of flavor.

What Slow Cooker Did You Use?
To make Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup I used my beloved 6 quart oval KitchenAid slow cooker.* I love this slow cooker because it cooks evenly and low. I also love this slow cooker because it has a neat timer with satisfying beeping buttons as well as a medium setting for those days where you start your slow cooker at an in-between time. If you’re in the market for a new slow cooker I definitely recommend this one!
