Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups Corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 3 large Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 medium Carrots, diced
- 2 stalks Celery stalks, diced
- 1 piece Small yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a large crock pot.
Add the corn kernels, diced potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and minced garlic on top of the chicken.
Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients and season with salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and paprika.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked, and the vegetables are soft.
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot. Shred the chicken with two forks and return it to the crock pot.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Slowly whisk in the heavy cream until smooth and thickened. Add the cream mixture to the crock pot and stir to combine.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the chowder hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
