Buffalo White Chicken Chili

1 tbsp. olive oil

1 lb. chicken breasts, or canned chicken

1 small onion, diced

3 celery stalks, diced

2- 14 oz. cans Great Northern Beans, rinsed and drained

16 oz. chicken broth

1 tsp. dried basil

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. Kosher salt

Bay leaf

1/4 -1/3 hot sauce or Sriricha sauce

1 tbsp. butter or butter substitute

Cooked rice or quinoa

Blue cheese for garnish

Green onions, diced for garnish

Heat your large pot over medium high heat.

Place the oil into the hot pot. Season the chicken with 1/2 tsp. salt and brown the chicken on both sides, cooking 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken and set aside. Add the onion and celery, saute for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until just tender. Add the beans, chicken broth and basil, garlic, bay leaf and salt. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, dice the browned chicken, and add the chicken to the pot simmering and cook for 4-5 minutes until chicken is cooked through and tender.

Finally, add your hot sauce, to taste…. and serve over hot rice or quinoa, top with blue cheese, more hot sauce and diced green onions.

Happy dinnertime!
