Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 can corn, drained
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by shredding the cooked chicken, draining the corn, and chopping the onion finely.
- In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the chopped onions until they become translucent and soft, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the drained corn and diced tomatoes to the pot, stirring to combine with the onions and allow flavors to meld together.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to cook for about 5-7 minutes to develop the base flavors.
- Slowly stir in the cream, reducing the heat to low to prevent the cream from curdling.
- Add the shredded chicken to the pot, stirring gently to distribute evenly throughout the chowder.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
- Simmer the chowder for an additional 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the chowder to thicken slightly.
- Remove from heat and let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Ladle into serving bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Tips
- Pro cooking tips to elevate your Chicken Corn and Tomato Chowder:
- Use rotisserie chicken for an even quicker preparation and extra flavor boost.
- For a richer taste, consider using heavy cream instead of regular cream.
- If you want a thicker chowder, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with cold water before adding the cream.
- Fresh corn can be substituted for canned corn during summer months for a more vibrant flavor.
- Don't rush the simmering process – this is where the flavors truly develop and meld together.
- For added depth, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a splash of white wine while sautéing the onions.
- If you prefer a bit of heat, add a small diced jalapeño when cooking the onions.
- Freshly chopped herbs like parsley or chives can dramatically enhance the final presentation and flavor.
