Made By Whole30 Buffalo Vinaigrette: it’s not JUST for salad! We used it in this Whole30 Buffalo Chicken Chili to complement creamy Hannah potatoes and savory chicken. It adds just the right kick of peppery, bright heat and flavor.
This hearty and filling chili is packed with protein, healthy fats, and nutrient-dense ingredients, making it a perfect meal for those following a Whole30 or paleo diet. Plus, it’s easy to make and can be stored in the fridge for up to three days, making it an excellent option for meal prep.
You’ll need some ghee, onion, garlic, and ground chicken to start. Sauté the onion and garlic in a large stockpot or Dutch oven until soft and fragrant, then add the ground chicken and spices. Stir in the diced sweet potato, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and Whole30 Buffalo Vinaigrette, and let the mixture simmer until the potato is soft and the flavors have melded together.
For extra pizazz, stir in fresh cilantro, scallions, and diced avocado for added texture and flavor. Then, finish things off with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for an extra burst of citrusy goodness!
Mix it up!
One of the great things about this recipe is its versatility. Customize it to your liking by adding in your favorite vegetables or adjusting the spice level to suit your taste. And if you’re not a fan of ground chicken, you can easily swap it out for ground turkey or beef.
