Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili is my spin on traditional chili that I came up with because my kids and husband and all buffalo recipe fanatics!

My slow cooker/ Crock Pot is my best good friend during extra busy weeks, especially when it’s cold outside.

I know even after a long, busy day I have something yummy and cozy to look forward to when I get home.

It was my goal to combine the flavors of chili with buffalo wings, and I think after a few attempts this tried and true recipe is spot on!

How to Make Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili

Two pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts will go in the slow cooker.

Then season those with chili powder, kosher salt, pepper, and a packet of dry ranch seasoning.

Why the ranch seasoning you may ask?!

Because my family ALWAYS dips their chicken wings in ranch.

Next add a diced onion, minced garlic, and two minced jalapenos (seeds removed) to the slow cooker.

Some buffalo sauce of course joins the party!

We like Frank’s Buffalo Wing Sauce, but any buffalo sauce will work.

Then two cans of Rotel tomatoes with green chiles.

Finally a few cans of chicken broth and you can give it a stir.

And turn the slow cooker to low for 6 to 8 hours.

Then shred the chicken with two forks right in the slow cooker and add a block of cream cheese.

Stir it a few times and it should be nice and melted in about a half hour.

We topped our Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili with cheese and Fritos for a little crunch.

This is a perfect dinner for any night, but also a great idea for a game day snack!
