½ stick (4tablespoons butter)
1 c. shredded carrots (I use a box grater to shred 3 medium carrots)
1 celery stalk (diced)
¼ c. diced onion
¼ c. flour
2 c. milk (I used low-fat milk, but skim, whole, or cream would also work)
1 ¾ c. chicken stock or broth

1 tablespoon white wine (or more, if desired)
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 c. grated sharp Cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Optional: chopped chives for garnish

Steps:

TEX-MEX CHEESY CHICKEN CHOWDER



Tex-Mex Cheesy Chicken Chowder image

This came highly recommended from one of my co-workers and, honestly, I was kind of skeptical because of a couple of the ingredients. I'm usually not interested in recipes that have convenience foods in them but I gave this one a shot and, boy, is it good! I'm still not thrilled with the Velveeta and would like to find an easy-melting cheese to replace it so if anyone trying this recipe can come up with something, I'm all ears! This makes up a big pot of thick, hearty chowder that would be perfect for a Super Bowl party, or any get-together with lots of guys and kids...it's just something that would appeal to that group, you know? You can easily adjust the heat by the type of salsa you use....I used a mild salsa and it was perfect for us. Oh, my co-worker's neighbor got this recipe from Midwest Living magazine.

Categories     Chowders

Time 40m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large onion, chopped
1 cup thinly sliced celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon oil
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite size pieces (I used 3 breast halves, they were big)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (32 ounce) package frozen hash brown potatoes (loose-pack diced)
1 (2 2/3 ounce) package country gravy mix
2 cups milk
1 (8 ounce) package processed cheese spread, cut into chunks (such as Velveeta)
1 (16 ounce) jar chunky salsa
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can diced green chilies
corn chips

Steps:

  • In a 6-quart Dutch oven, cook and stir onion, celery and garlic in hot oil over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until onion is tender; add chicken and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or till no longer pink; add broth and potatoes; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 12-15 minutes or till potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • In a medium bowl, dissolve gravy mix into milk; stir milk mixture into soup mixture; stir in cheese, salsa and green chilies, reduce heat to low; cook and stir till cheese is melted.
  • Serve with corn chips.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Always start with the freshest ingredients possible. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chowder.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry.
  • Use a Good Quality Cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in chowder, so it's worth using a good quality one. Look for a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
  • Be Patient: Chowder is a dish that takes time to make. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a subpar meal.

Conclusion:

Chicken and cheese chowder is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold day. It is also relatively easy to make, making it a great option for busy weeknight meals. With a few simple tips, you can make a chowder that is sure to please the whole family.
