CROCK POT TOMATO POTATO CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER



Crock Pot Tomato Potato Chicken Corn Chowder image

This was born shortly after my now five week-old daughter when I needed to literally just throw dinner together, frozen chicken breasts and all. I was thrilled it turned out so flavorful and filling.

Provided by Marla Swoffer

Categories     Chowders

Time 5h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 chicken breasts, frozen
1 (15 ounce) can corn
1 (7 ounce) can creamed corn
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
4 potatoes, quartered
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon concentrate
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Lay chicken breasts on bottom of crock pot.
  • Pour everything else over the top and stir (without moving the chicken).
  • Cook on low 8-10 hours or high 4-6 hours (I actually cooked it on medium for about 5 hours).
  • If you're home, stir once in a while, as the chicken and potatoes soften, to break them up a bit, though it will probably also work to do that when it's all done.

CHICKEN & POTATO CHOWDER RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Chicken & Potato Chowder Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by lizhoff

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 onion, diced
3 carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups milk, or more, as needed
2 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups diced cooked chicken breast
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in thyme until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in potatoes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12-15 minutes. Stir in chicken and cheese, a handful at a time, until smooth, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. If the chowder is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are ideal for this chowder because they hold their shape well and don't get mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: Make sure you have a large enough pot to accommodate all of the ingredients comfortably. If the pot is too crowded, the vegetables will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. This will help them retain their flavor and texture.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth: The chicken broth is the base of the chowder, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with real chicken.
  • Season the chowder to taste: Once the chowder is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Serve the chowder hot: Chowder is best served hot, so make sure to serve it immediately after it's cooked. You can also reheat the chowder in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Conclusion:

Chicken potato chowder is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold night. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your chowder thick or thin, creamy or chunky, there's a recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give chicken potato chowder a try.
