Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by browning the ground chicken in a skillet over medium heat for approximately 5-7 minutes, until fully cooked and no longer pink.
  2. In the slow cooker, combine the cooked ground chicken with the buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, and your choice of beans. Stir until evenly mixed.
  3. Place a block of cream cheese on top of the combined ingredients in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover your slow cooker with a lid and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
  5. Once the cooking time is up, remove the lid and stir the melted cream cheese into the chili until fully incorporated.
  6. Ladle the chili into bowls, and if using blue cheese crumbles, sprinkle them on top.

Notes

For best results, brown the chicken before adding it to the slow cooker for enhanced flavor. Adjust spice levels by starting with less buffalo sauce and adding more as needed.
