• 1. In large saute pan, cook (seasoned with S&P)chicken breast for 4 min each side, add onions and garlic for 2 min. stirring. Add chopped carrots and celery with tablespoon butter and saute for 3min.
• 2. Add chicken stock and 2 cups water, bring to boil and simmer for 2 hours. Stir and break up chicken, add box of potatoes and cup and a half water, bring back to boil for 5 min.
• 3. Lower heat to med. Add veggies of choice continue to cook for another 10min. Lower to simmer add cream and seasonings and cover for 5min. Soup will thicken, if need be add more chicken stock. Chop and add celery and parsley leaves.

Steps:

• Steam carrots, cauliflower and green beans until fork tender.
• In a separate, large saucepan, melt margarine. Add onion and cook over medium high heat, stirring occasionally until tender.
• Whisk in flour, celery salt and oregano. Cook and stir one minute. Add milk, broth and lemon juice.
• Cook and whisk until thickened and bubbly all over.
• Stir in shredded cheddar until melted. Add hot, drained vegetables to saucepan, stirring to coat evenly with the sauce.
• Pour vegetables and sauce into deep one quart casserole dish.
• In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs with romano cheese, olive oil and parsley. Mix well.
• Sprinkle bread crumb mixture over the top of vegetables.
• Bake uncovered in 350 F oven for 25 - 30 minutes, until heated through and crumbs are golden brown.

Steps:

• In a large pot add bacon (I cut into bite size pieces) saute lightly.
• Add in onions (and the celery which is optional) and saute briefly.
• Add Chicken broth (I often use two cans of both the broth and the clams) potatoes, carrots, reserved clam juice, salt, pepper and simmer until vegetables are done.
• Add in the milk, clams and chopped parsley stirring frequently until heated through.
• You may wish to serve at this point but we make a roux melting shortening in a heavy pan, adding the flour browning to golden brown and whisking into chowder.
• This can be prepared a day ahead, cool, cover and refrigerate bringing to a simmer (carefully stirring to prevent burning) before serving.
