This is one of those meals that tastes like home. Does that make sense? It just tastes like something that came from a kitchen full of family and love and warmth. It certainly wouldn't wow a food critic, but it's hearty and delicious with the perfect amount of spice, and it's perfect for a relaxing meal.
Recipe adapted from here.
Ingredients:
4 stalks celery, chopped
3 carrots, peeled & chopped
1 onion, diced
4 cloves minced garlic
3 tbsp olive oil
2 jalapeno peppers, seeds and membranes removed, diced
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
4 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
2 cups milk
2 tbsp flour
4 10oz packages frozen creamed corn, cooked
1 tsp dried thyme
freshly ground black pepper (optional)
Directions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the celery, carrots, onion, and garlic. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for 6 minutes.
2. Add in the jalapeno peppers, cover, and cook for another 6 minutes.
3. Add in the cubed chicken. Pour enough water into the pot to barely cover the vegetables and chicken. Cover and cook until chicken is done - about 20 minutes.
4. Add in the crumbled bacon.
5. Mix the milk and flour in a separate bowl until combined. Add to the chowder.
6. Add the creamed corn and thyme to the chowder, and give everything a good stir.
7. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes (don't skip this time - this is what makes it thicken and get yummy!).
8. Serve in bowls with a little black pepper on top.
Enjoy!
