Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 4 slices Uncooked turkey bacon
- 1 medium Yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups Frozen corn kernels
- 4 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup Skim milk
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the turkey bacon slices and cook until crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon, crumble it, and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen corn. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
In a small bowl, whisk the skim milk and cornstarch together until smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the pot, stirring constantly, to thicken the chowder. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the soup has slightly thickened.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the crumbled turkey bacon. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
