Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 rotisserie chicken (skin removed and meat chopped)

Spices & Seasonings

  • 2 Tbsp onion flakes
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp chicken base or bouillon

Liquids & Dairy

  • 1½ cups water
  • 3 cups half-and-half

Vegetables & Other Ingredients

  • 1 (15-oz) can creamed corn
  • ½ cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 (4-oz) can green chiles
  • 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Remove the skin from the rotisserie chicken and discard it. Then, take the meat off the bones and chop it into bite-sized pieces, discarding the bones.
  2. Combine ingredients: Place the chopped chicken into a Dutch oven. Add the onion flakes, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper, chicken base or bouillon, water, half-and-half, creamed corn, frozen corn kernels, green chiles, and shredded pepper jack cheese. Stir everything together to combine well.
  3. Cook the chowder: Place the Dutch oven on the stovetop over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken.

Notes

  • Using a rotisserie chicken saves time and adds rich flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of green chiles to control the heat level of the chowder.
  • For a thicker chowder, simmer for a few minutes longer or add a slurry of cornstarch and water.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be frozen for longer storage.
  • Use low-fat half-and-half or milk to reduce calories if desired.
