One way to make Mondays a smidgen more tolerable is to make a delicious meal. And what meal goes better with MNF then Buffalo Chicken Chili?
Buffalo Chicken Chili (adapted from Closet Cooking)
(5 one-cup servings)
1 lb ground chicken
1 onion, diced
1/2 cup diced carrots
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp ground cumin
1 cup beer or water
1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes with green peppers, onions, and celery, drained
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp ground cayenne
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Add the ground chicken to a nonstick skillet. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until browned. Remove the chicken from heat and set aside.
Spray a large stock pot with cooking spray. Add onion and carrots. Cook over medium heat for about 5-10 minutes or until soft. Add the minced garlic and cumin and cook for one minute or until fragrant. Deglaze the pan with beer or water. Stir in browned chicken, diced tomatoes, beans, paprika, oregano, cayenne, and buffalo sauce. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Serve warm sprinkled with blue cheese or shredded mozzarella cheese.
