Yield 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (12 ounces total) , cut into cubes
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
1/2 pound red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 1/2 cups whole milk
Pinch of ground nutmeg
3/4 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed

Steps:

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add remaining tablespoon oil to same pan over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic; season with salt. Cook, stirring often, 5 minutes. Sprinkle in flour; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Slowly stir in stock until incorporated; add potatoes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer until potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in milk and nutmeg. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Add reserved chicken, corn, and peas; simmer until chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to potatoes, feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, celery, onions, or corn to your chowder. This will add flavor and texture, and make the chowder more nutritious.
Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables should be tender but still have a bit of bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
Use a good quality stock: The stock you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your chowder. Use a homemade stock if you can, or a good quality store-bought stock. Avoid using bouillon cubes, as they can make the chowder taste artificial.
Season to taste: Be sure to taste the chowder and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
Serve with your favorite toppings: Chowder is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, diced avocado, or sour cream. Get creative and find your favorite way to enjoy it!
