Description

A comforting stovetop dish that’s rich and creamy with tender bites of potatoes and shredded rotisserie chicken.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 small carrot, finely diced
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 russet potatoes, diced
  • 2 cooked rotisserie chicken breast halves, shredded
  • 1 1/2 cups white corn kernels
  • 1 1/2 cups yellow corn kernels
  • 4 cups chicken stock, divided
  • 2 1/2 cups half and half
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion, carrot, celery, and garlic in hot butter until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
  2. Stir flour into the mixture to make a paste; cook until lightly browned and flour gives off a slightly toasted smell, about 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Meanwhile, stir together potatoes, chicken, white and yellow corn, and 3 cups stock in a large soup pot over medium heat.
  4. Whisk the remaining 1 cup stock into vegetables and flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir the mixture into the soup pot; bring to a simmer. Cook and stir until thick, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir half and half, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper into chowder. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  6. For slow cooker, follow the steps above, then cook on Medium for 5 hours.

Notes

Serve with crusty bread for dipping or top with croutons for added crunch. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze, but note that texture may change slightly after thawing.
