Buffalo Chicken Chili

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbs Olive oil
• 2lbs Ground chicken
• 2 large carrots, peeled & finely chopped
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 ribs celery, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 Tbs smoked paprika
• 1 Bay leaf, fresh or dried
• Salt & Pepper
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 1/2 cup hot sauce (I use about 1/4 cup because I like it mild)
• 1 can tomato sauce (15oz)
• 1 can stewed, fire roasted or crushed tomatoes
• 1 bag tortilla chips

Directions:

1. Large pot oven medium-high heat with olive oil, add ground chicken and break up, lightly brown it for 5 minutes.
2. Add carrots, onion, celery, garlic, paprika and bay leaf, salt & pepper. Stirr frequently, about 7-8 minutes. Add chicken stock and scrape up any brown bits on bottom.
3. Add hot sauce, tomato sauce and stewed tomatoes, bring up to a bubble. Simmer for 8-10 minutes.
4. Serve with chips.
