Friends of ours make an awesome Buffalo Chicken Pasta dish and an equally delicious Buffalo Chicken Dip. I stumbled upon this Buffalo Chicken Chili dish from Rachael Ray via another blogger. It's in her top 10 list. So I was excited to try another Buffalo Chicken-Themed dish. My husband loves Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches and I love to make chili so this was the perfect meeting of the two. It turned out great. It was very hot, so you might want to use less hot sauce. Makes about 4 to 6 servings. Nutritional Information (Based on 6 Servings w/ about 5 to 6 chips)

This sounds delicious, but I have a question. Fat-free mayo is listed as one of the ingredients but I don't see where it is used. Do you mix it with the blue cheese and put that on top of the tortilla chips?
ReplyDeleteoops! No I added it to the chili when you add the chicken broth, hot sauce, tomato sauce, and crushed tomatoes. Before you bring it all to a boil. Thanks for catching that! I'll have to fix the post.
