Chicken Potato Chowder Recipe 455

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large stock pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add garlic and rosemary, sauté until fragrant (about 2 minutes).
• Sear chicken breasts in oil just until browned on each side.
• Place chicken breasts in oven, bake about 30 minutes, until no longer pink in the middle. While the chicken is cooking, finish the rest of the soup.
• Add celery and onion to pot, sauté until just softened, 6-8 minutes.
• Add chicken stock and bring to a boil.
• Add chopped potatoes, cover. Maintain a low boil until potatoes are soft.
• When chicken is done, remove from oven, let cool slightly then shred or chop.
• Remove 2 cups of soup from pot and purée in a food processor, then return to pot. This will thicken the soup.
• Add shredded chicken and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• The soup can stay on the stove over low heat until ready to serve but the potatoes will continue to soften.

Steps:

• Pour the soup mix, milk and garlic powder into the crock pot and whisk together.
• Add the chopped chicken breast and diced potatoes and stir to mix.
• Cook for 8 hours on low setting of crock pot or 4 hours on high.
• Serve with bread.
• As a variation you can stir in a can of creamed corn towards the end of cooking time.

Steps:

• In 3-quart saucepan over medium high heat, heat chicken broth, corn, chicken, bell pepper, green onions and butter to boiling. Cover; reduce heat. Simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bell pepper is crisp-tender.
• Stir in milk and 1 pouch Cheese Sauce pouch until sauce is melted and thoroughly heated. Remove from heat; stir in 1 potato pouch until blended. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in thyme until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in potatoes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12-15 minutes. Stir in chicken and cheese, a handful at a time, until smooth, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. If the chowder is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Add remaining tablespoon oil to same pan over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic; season with salt. Cook, stirring often, 5 minutes. Sprinkle in flour; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Slowly stir in stock until incorporated; add potatoes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer until potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Stir in milk and nutmeg. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Add reserved chicken, corn, and peas; simmer until chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
