A hearty and comforting chowder featuring tender chicken, sweet corn, smoky bacon, and a creamy broth, perfect for chilly days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 3 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 2 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold, peeled and diced)
  • 6 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 medium onion (finely diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, to taste
  • Thyme, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and crumble, then set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and garlic in the bacon grease until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the butter and flour, stirring to create a roux. Cook for another minute, then set aside.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot. Add the diced potatoes, corn, and sautéed onion mixture.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir.
  7. Serve the chowder warm, topped with crumbled bacon and fresh parsley for garnish.

Notes
