 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
 2 tablespoons butter
 2 pounds ground chicken breast
 1 large carrot, peeled and finely chopped
 1 large onion, chopped
 3 stalks celery, finely chopped
 5 cloves garlic, chopped
 5 tablespoons chili powder

 1/2 cup hot buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's® REDHOT Buffalo Wing Sauce), or to taste
 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce

 Directions
Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Place chicken in the pot. Cook and stir 7 to 10 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink. Stir in the carrot, onion, celery, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and salt and pepper, and cook and stir until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are beginning to soften, 3 to 4 more minutes.
Stir in the hot sauce, tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, and white and red kidney beans. Bring to a boil, and simmer over medium-low heat about 1 hour, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have blended.
