Chicken Corn Chowder
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 3-4 people
2 cups shredded cooked rotisserie chicken
4 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
1/2 large onion, minced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 cups frozen corn
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups 2% milk
1/4 cup flour
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup green onions, sliced
Salt/Pepper to taste
In dutch oven or large soup pot over medium-high heat, cook bacon pieces until brown and crispy, 7-10 minutes. Set cooked bacon pieces aside and drain half of bacon grease (discard) and keep the rest in pan. Put back onto stove and add olive oil and onions, sautéing 5-6 minutes or until soft. Add corn, stir 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle flour over top, then stir with a whisk. Pour in chicken broth slowly while whisking briskly. Stir until thick and smooth with no flour lumps, then reduce heat to low. Slowly add in milk. Add rotisserie chicken, stir. Add a dash of salt and pepper, stir. Let simmer for 20-30 minutes on low, stirring every once in a while.
Right before serving, toss in cheese, green onions, and bacon, stirring until cheese melts. Enjoy!
