Chicken Corn Chowder Recipe

This chicken corn chowder recipe is a mix of chicken, corn, half and half and veggies. I went with red potatoes and left the skins on because the color is just great in a pot of brown, pale items. Also, the carrots and celery are perfect for flavor AND color.

Some recipe notes:

• Don’t skimp. Part of what this chicken corn chowder so great are the vegetables and the potatoes so don’t cut back on their quantity. In fact, maybe even add more!
• Lighter version. If you are looking to lighten the calorie count, substitute 1% milk or skim milk. It will be less creamy for sure, but I still think you find the flavor fantastic.
• How much chowder? This is going to make A LOT of chowder. If you aren’t ready to eat chowder for a few days or cooking for a crowd, halve the recipe.
• Save time. Use a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time. Or make your own rotisserie chicken at home.

What goes with chicken corn chowder?

Chicken corn chowder is very hearty so keep that in mind when you are figuring out a menu plan.

A good start is bread and butter. I love buying fresh baguettes at the grocery store – the bread is super crunchy and I love dipping it in the broth. Also, cornbread – don’t forget about cornbread. Yum.

A salad is also good. Extra greens is always a plus. Try my Brussels sprouts kale salad or my baby arugula and tomato salad if you’re looking for something new.

Can I freeze this chowder recipe?

I do not recommend freezing chowders or soups like this, with a dairy base like cream or milk.
