Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon bacon drippings
1 cup chopped deli-style ham
10 ounces diced cooked chicken
1 cup peeled and diced potatoes
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
½ teaspoon onion powder, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (10.75 ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth
½ cup low-fat (1%) milk

Steps:

  • Heat bacon drippings in 6-quart Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat. Cook and stir ham in hot bacon drippings until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and potatoes to the pot; cook and stir until the potatoes soften slightly, about 5 minutes. Season the ham mixture with thyme, marjoram, onion powder, and garlic powder.
  • Pour cans of whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, and chicken broth into the pot. Stir milk into the mixture. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until the potatoes are completely tender, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chowder.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too much chicken or vegetables, the chowder will be too thick and may not cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. This is important to prevent foodborne illness. You can check to see if the chicken is done by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Overcooked vegetables will also make the chowder too thick.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth. This will add flavor and depth to the chowder.
  • Season the chowder to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the chowder immediately. It is best when served hot.

Conclusion:

Chicken and corn chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple tips, you can make a chicken and corn chowder that is sure to please everyone at your table.
