Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 large chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups frozen or fresh corn kernels
- 1 large russet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts foaming.
Add the diced onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened.
Add the diced chicken breasts to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink.
Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly with the flour, and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Then, add the milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the corn, diced potato, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine and continue simmering for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chowder slightly thickens.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let it warm through for another 2-3 minutes, being careful not to boil the chowder.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
