Kid Friendly Chicken Chowder
When the days are getting colder in fall, it’s nice to send your kids to school with a hot soup to go along with the usual sandwich. This chicken chowder recipe is perfect for that. Just pour it in a thermos, and send it along with a cheese sandwich or even just some crackers for a filling lunch that will also warm them up.
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 1 onion, chopped fine
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1 1/2 C milk
- 1 c frozen hash browns
- 1 c corn, frozen
- 3/4 C chicken breast, cooked and cubed
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Pour the oil in a large sauce pan and warm slightly over medium heat.
Add the onion and cook stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until tender, then cover the cooked onions with the flour and poultry seasoning. Continue to cook for another minute.
Pour in the milk and stirring constantly bring the mixture to a boil.
Allow to cook 2 minutes longer, still stirring, until mixture begins to thicken.
Place the potatoes and corn into the mixture and bring it back to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and cover the pan.
Cook for 12 minutes or until the potatoes begin to tender. Carefully stir in the chicken and cook an addition 15 minutes or until the chicken is heated through.
This makes a great thermos lunch for children. Just remind them not to open the lid until it’s time to eat. Add a biscuit with butter and jelly to top off the perfect lunch.
