Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F or broiler to medium.
• Place a large pot over medium-high heat, add 1 turn of the pan of EVOO, about 1 tablespoon, and the butter.
• Once the butter has melted and the pot is hot, add the ground chicken.

• Top with the crumbled blue cheese and transfer to the oven to melt the cheese, about 4-5 minutes.
• If using the broiler, 2-3 minutes should do the trick.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
• Top each serving of buffalo chicken chili with a few blue cheese-topped corn chips.

BUFFALO CHICKEN CHILI MAC FOR OLYMPIANS - RACHAEL RAY

Steps:

• To make cutting the chicken easier, place it into the freezer for about 15 minutes until it firms up slightly but isn't frozen through. This will let you cut it up quickly into small pieces.
• Preheat broiler and place a large pot of salted water over high heat to bring up to a boil for the whole wheat elbow macaroni.
• Place a large pot over medium-high heat and add 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Add the chicken bits and brown them, about 5-6 minutes. Add the carrot, onion, celery, garlic, paprika, bay leaf and some salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook the veggies, stirring frequently, until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add the chicken stock and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the hot sauce and crushed tomatoes, and bring up to a bubble. Simmer the chili for 8-10 minutes to let the flavors come together and thicken it slightly.
• While the chili is simmering, toss the pasta into the boiling salted water and cook until al dente according to package directions. Once cooked, drain the pasta and toss it into the chili, then transfer everything to a casserole dish. Sprinkle the cheeses evenly over the top and place it under the broiler until the cheeses have melted and the top is golden brown, 2-3 minutes.
• Sprinkle the chopped scallions over the top and watch this one disappear in no time.
