I am having so much fun celebrating Fall this week! I’ve teamed up with 18 other bloggers to bring you the Fall Welcome Week. We are all sharing our favorite things about the season, such as this Buffalo Chicken Chili recipe I’m sharing with you today. It’s the perfect way to warm up on a cold day.
If you’ve been here before, you know I love buffalo chicken! I’ve added it to just about everything you can imagine. This chili recipe takes a classic dish and adds an exciting buffalo twist. Buffalo Chicken Chili is a great one-pot meal to make on a busy night.
This recipe is inspired by white chicken chili, but adds a spicy buffalo twist. I used Texas Pete’s Extra Mild Buffalo Sauce which isn’t very spicy, but the other spices add a kick to it. If you don’t like spicy foods, make sure you omit the chili powder.
Buffalo Chicken Chili
Ingredients
- 2 lbs cooked, shredded chicken
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes
- 2 15.5 oz cans Cannellini Beans (White Kidney Beans), drained
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground oregano
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil to medium high. Saute the onions and garlic for 2-3 minutes or until onions are cooked.
- Add chicken broth, diced tomatoes, cannellini beans and buffalo sauce. Bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat to medium and add chicken.
- Add the spices.
- Lower heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes. If you want, you can let it simmer for long. I did, and it helped the flavors blend together more.

It is so good! Definitely a good comfort food for Fall.
Madison says
This chili looks so good! Steven doesn’t like beans but I feel like I could easily leave those out and it would still be amazing!
Jenna Brussee says
I made this for my brother and found out he doesn’t like beans either! But he was able to eat around them and still liked it.

Thanks for sharing a recipe with us! I will go check it out.
B. Britnell says
Yummmm! Omg, this sounds SO good. I’m such a baby when summer ends and it starts to get cold. BUT, I’m always consoled by all the yummy recipes like this one!
Jenna Brussee says
I get cold so easily because I’m a Floridian! But I love being able to wear sweaters, scarves and boots so it’s worth it.
Lindsay says
Isn’t soup the best?? Now I am craving some!
Jenna Brussee says
It’s just the thing for a chilly Fall day! I’m not sure if I’ll get any of those in Florida, but I’m still making soup.
Elizabeth Lund says
Mmm. The chili looks amazing!! Love a chicken chili. Thanks. I love fall because of the smells!! And the sound of crunchy leaves under my feet. One of my favorite times of the year for pictures!!
Jenna Brussee says
I love Fall smells, too! Right now I’m baking something with apples and pumpkin and it smells heavenly.
Erica says
This is a perfect fall recipe. Oh my gosh, your blog is going to make me look like I know what I’m doing when I cook now! 🙂
Jenna Brussee says
That’s the idea! This recipe looks impressive but it’s so easy to make.
Melodi Steinberg says
Chili is my all time favorite food. Especially white bean chili. I’ll give this a shot!
Jenna Brussee says
Adding buffalo is a great way to add a spicy twist to a favorite dish. You should try it!
JoAnn Madden Crohn says
I’ve made buffalo chicken chili before and it was super yummy. It was extra good when I topped it with tortilla chips and a sprinkle of bleu cheese.
Jenna Brussee says
Oooh, that’s a great idea! I need to try it with tortilla chips and bleu cheese next time.
Heather says
I don’t eat meat but this sounds delicious! i love a good chili especially now that it is Fall!
Jenna Brussee says
I’m sure it would be easy to create a vegetarian version of this!
Nancy says
Do you know the funniest (okay not taken literally) thing? I can cook the most complicated meals (well…if you consider a roast chicken complicated – clearly I’m useless in the kitchen) but soup/stew or chilis? I have NO idea where to start. Do you put in the veg, meat, beans all at the same time? Don’t they over cook the veg? I really need to watch someone in person make a batch before I “get” it. 🙁 Lol…
Jenna Brussee says
You should try it! This recipe shows you when to add everything so it shouldn’t be too difficult to figure out.
Arlington Mommy says
I’m so glad it is starting to cool down so I can make dishes like this! I will be trying this recipe soon.
Jenna Brussee says
Me too! I hope you enjoy it.
Nancy says
I have never made soup/stew or chili before – I don’t know what it is that I find so difficult about it! I’m “scared” of making it …I can’t stand it when something I make comes out wrong lol 🙁
Jenna Brussee says
The good news is, it’s pretty hard to mess up soups and stews!
Jessica at Team Wiking says
This looks so delicious. I haven’t ever tried to make Chili but I probably should.
Jenna Brussee says
It’s really easy! I used to use a mix but then I realized how easy it is to make from scratch.
Kristen says
I’m getting out my boots & tights….and making a pumpkin butter cheesecake pie.
Jenna Brussee says
I can’t wait until it gets cold enough to wear my boots. And that pie sounds soooooo good!
Brenda Lawrence says
Yum!!! Perfect for Fall!
Jenna Brussee says
That sounds like a lot of fun! I would love to attend something like that.
Jenna Brussee says
Me too! Unfortunately it could be awhile until it gets cold enough here, but I’m hoping!
Jenna Brussee says
You will love it! Buffalo is one of my favorites.
Jenna Brussee says
That’s great! I love being able to be active outside more during the Fall.
Jenna Brussee says
You both will love it! If you try it, let me know 🙂 I want to hear what you think!
Jenna Brussee says
You should try this version when you want to mix things up! It is so good.
jcarr0728 says
I’m enjoying the beautiful mild weather and staying outdoors as much as possible!
Jemma Andrew says
This looks perfect for fall! 🙂
Fiona Naughton says
This looks delicious. Perfect for autumn comfort food 🙂
Jenna Brussee says
Autumn is a time for comfort foods. I love warming up with soups and chilis.
Camesha says
Buffalo chicken chili? That sounds amazing!
Megan Walker says
I swear, you are officially the buffalo chicken genius! I never would have thought to make it into chili.
Jenna Brussee says
Hahah, thanks! I know you will love this since you are a buffalo fan, too.
Jenna Brussee says
Ooops, that is weird! Thanks for joining us again.
Jenna Brussee says
Texas Pete is the BEST! It’s the only buffalo sauce I use now.
Jenna Brussee says
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you like it.
Megan Sybrant says
umm YUM! My husband and I are obsessed with buffalo everything. We are vegetarian though so I want to come up with a meatless version of this chili!
Jenna Brussee says
My boyfriend and I cook with buffalo all the time. I’m sure you could easily make this meatless. Maybe add another type of beans?
Jenna Brussee says
You have to try the Texas Pete Extra Mild next time. I can’t handle anything really spicy, and so it’s perfect for me.
Jenna Brussee says
Thank you for stopping by! And for hosting the fun party.
