Buffalo Chicken Chili

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp Olive oil
2 Tbsp butter
2 lbs all white meat ground chicken breast
1 large carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1 large onion, chopped
3 ribs celery, finely chopped
5 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 Tbsp smoked paprika (i used 1/2 Tbsp paprika, 1/2 Tbsp chili pwd. I didn't want to buy a 6 dollar bottle for one recipe!)
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
2 cups chicken stock
1/4-1/2 cup hot sauce, depending on how hot you like it. (i used Franks buffalo chicken sauce)
1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
1 15 ounce can crushed tomatoes

Place a large pot over med-high heat add olive oil and butter. Once butter is melted, add the ground chicken. Brown it, using the back of a wooden spoon to break it up into small pieces, about 5-6 minutes. Add the carrot, onion, celery, garlic, paprika, bay leaf and some salt and pepper. Cook, stiring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes. Add the chicken stock and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot. Add the hot sauce, tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes, and bring up to a bubble. Simmer for 8-10 minutes to let the flavors come together.
