Everyone’s favorite app, made into a chili! Made with a chicken, white beans, your favorite buffalo sauce, this Buffalo White Chicken Chili is packed with flavor. It is made in a slow cooker, making it perfect for busy weekdays. Throw everything into your crockpot in the morning and you will come home to dinner ready in 10 minutes! Like any soup, I believe the toppings make the meal, so don’t forget to add some extra cheese, plain Greek yogurt, green onions & your favorite tortilla chips! Vegetarian & dairy-free modifications are listed below.

Tips & Substitutions

  • I prefer to make this soup in a crockpot because it requires the least amount of effort, the flavors get to cook & meld together for hours and the chicken always turns out to be the perfect texture! If you don't have the time, you can make this in a pot by bringing all of the ingredients but the chicken & cream cheese to a boil, add in the chicken and boil for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Shred with 2 forks, place back into the pot and remove about 1 cup of broth. Dice your cream cheese into cubes, then add in the broth and whisk until the cream cheese is broken down, then add into the pot and simmer until well combined before serving.
  • To make this vegetarian, remove the chicken and add in an extra can of white beans.
  • To make this dairy-free, omit the cream cheese and make sure you are selecting a dairy-free buffalo sauce - Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce is my favorite!
  • Don't skip the toppings!! They add so much flavor & texture to this soup. Tortilla chips, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions and plain Greek yogurt are some of my favorites to add.
