Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
  • 1 cup buffalo wing sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (optional, for thinning)

Instructions

  1. Place the raw chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Add the cannellini beans, great northern beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and diced green chilies to the slow cooker.
  3. Pour the buffalo wing sauce over the ingredients.
  4. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper evenly over everything.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
  6. Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the chili.
  7. Add the cubes of cream cheese to the chili. Stir until the cream cheese is completely melted and the chili is creamy.
  8. If the chili is too thick, stir in chicken broth one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  9. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper with the dry seasonings.
  • Serve this chili with blue cheese crumbles, ranch dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, or tortilla chips for texture.
