Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 large, sweet, yellow onion; chopped
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • 2 tbsp. flour
  • 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1½ lbs. red potatoes, chopped into bite-size pieces
  • 1 tbsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. crushed red pepper (more, less or omit depending on your spice preference)
  • Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste.
  • 20 oz. frozen cream corn (thawed) or 1 (15 oz.) can.
  • 2 cups frozen or fresh kernel corn
  • Shredded cheese for garnish (I used cheddar jack.)
Instructions
  1. Heat a large dutch oven or sauce pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Once hot, add olive oil and chicken pieces.
  3. Sauté chicken for about 5 minutes or until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from the skillet and keep warm. (Chicken doesn't have to be cooked through at this point. We will be adding it back to cook more)
  4. Add onion, bell pepper and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the veggies have begun to soften.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies, stir and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Slowly add chicken stock and then milk, whisking constantly. Mixture should begin to thicken.
  7. Add potatoes, cumin, crushed red pepper (if using), salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until potatoes are just tender, uncovered. Stir occasionally.
  8. Add chicken back to the pot as well as both the creamed and kernel corn. Stir to combine, heat through and simmer for a few more minutes so the chowder reaches your desired consistency.
  9. To serve: ladle into bowls and top with shredded cheese, if desired.
