Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon, chopped
- 2-3 chicken breasts, cooked (diced or shredded)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- ½ teaspoon dry mustard powder
- salt, pepper to taste
- 3-4 potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1" pieces
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- toppings: green onions, cheese, bacon
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Leave about 1-2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pot.
- Sauté onion and red pepper in the bacon drippings until soft, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture, whisking until smooth. Gradually whisk in chicken broth.
- Add chicken, potatoes, corn, dry mustard, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Mash a few potatoes in the pot to thicken the chowder, if you want a thicker consistency.
- Stir in milk and cream, along with half of the cooked bacon. Simmer 5 more minutes. Serve hot with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
