Buffalo Chicken and Bean Chili
Description
This Buffalo Chicken and Bean Chili starts by browning ground chicken, then cooking onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and a blend of chili powder, cumin, and paprika until the vegetables soften. White beans and refried pinto beans are added along with chicken broth and water, then simmered to meld flavors.
Frank's hot sauce imparts distinct buffalo heat, mixed in before adding the browned chicken back to the pot to simmer until the chili thickens and flavors integrate. The layered spices and vegetables create a thick, savory stew with a hint of heat balanced by creamy toppings like shredded reduced-fat cheddar and sour cream.
Served hot, this chili is a filling meal suitable for cooler weather or casual dinners. Scallions add a fresh garnish. Its rich texture and hearty ingredients make it satisfying on its own or alongside bread.
