Make this hearty, spicy, and creamy Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili for an easy game day meal or a comforting weeknight dinner. Shredded chicken cooks low and slow in a rich buffalo sauce base.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, undrained
  • 1 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Pour the buffalo wing sauce, chicken broth, ranch seasoning mix, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and diced green chilies over the chicken.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  4. Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  5. Add the drained and rinsed black beans, kidney beans, and corn to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  6. Add the cubes of cream cheese. Stir gently until the cream cheese melts and the chili becomes creamy.
  7. Cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes on low, or until the chili is heated through and creamy.
  8. Serve hot, topped with shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper with the ranch seasoning.
  • Serve this chili with tortilla chips, cornbread, or over rice for a complete meal.
  • You can substitute ground chicken for chicken breasts, but you will skip the shredding step. Cook until the ground chicken is done.
