Buffalo Chicken Chili

Buffalo Chicken Chili 

If you like buffalo chicken - you will love this !! It has fall written all over it ! 

This is a great one for tailgating!! This is low fat and packed with protein !! Great choice when you are surrounded by all those tempting high fat tailgate foods. 

I really love this recipe it is quick and easy, it is yet another one that I can make in advance and freeze. However if I am going to freeze this one I make a double batch.
