LOADED CHEESY CHICKEN POTATO CHOWDER



Loaded Cheesy Chicken Potato Chowder image

Potatoes, chicken, carrots, corn and more!! Thick, creamy, rich, and wonderfully cheesy!! Fast and easy comfort food that everyone loves!!

Provided by Averie Sunshine

Categories     30-Minute Meals

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups sweet Vidalia or yellow onions, peeled and diced small (about 1 medium/large onion)
1 cup carrots, peeled and diced small (about 2 large carrots)
1 cup celery, diced small (about 2 stalks)
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
32 ounces (4 cups) low-sodium chicken broth
3 cups milk, or as needed (I use Silk Unsweetened Cashewmilk)
3 cups Russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch cubes (about 3 large potatoes)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
pinch cayenne pepper, optional and to taste
2 cups cooked shredded rotisserie chicken (use storebought to save time)
3/4 cup corn (I used frozen and added it straight from the freezer)
8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese (grate it yourself, pre-grated cheese in plastic bags is resistant to melting)
1/3 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • To a large Dutch oven or stockpot, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat to warm.
  • Add the onion, carrots, celery, and sauté for about 7 to 9 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften. Stir intermittently.
  • Add the garlic and sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the flour and whisk constantly until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  • Add the chicken broth, milk, and whisk constantly until slightly thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add potatoes, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, optional cayenne, and bring to a boil. Allow chowder to boil fairly rapidly for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender; stir intermittently. At any time while the chowder is boiling, if the overall liquid level is lower than you like and the chowder is too thick, adding a cup of extra milk is okay. At the end you will adjust the seasoning levels.
  • After potatoes are soft, add the chicken, corn, and boil for 1 to 2 minutes to warm the chicken and corn through.
  • Reduce the heat to low, add the cheese slowly, and stir continuously until melted and combined.
  • Add the parsley and stir to combine.
  • Taste chowder and add salt to taste. I added another teaspoon but this will vary based on how salty the brand of chicken broth used is, how salty the rotisserie chicken and cheese are, and personal preference. Make any necessary seasoning adjustments (i.e. more salt, pepper, herbs, etc.) and serve immediately.
