Instructions

  • 1
    Start by cooking the bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crispy.

    To begin, place the diced bacon into a large pot and cook over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once the bacon is crispy, remove it from the pot and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Leave the grease in the pot as it will add flavor to the chowder.

  • 2
    Add the butter to the pot, then sauté the onion and garlic until softened.

    Next, add the butter to the pot and let it melt. Then add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and garlic are softened and translucent. This step is crucial as it lays the foundation of flavors for the chowder.

  • 3
    Add the flour to the pot and cook for a minute, stirring constantly.

    Now, add the all-purpose flour to the pot. Cook for about a minute, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. This mixture will help thicken the chowder later on.

  • 4
    Gradually add the milk and cream, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.

    Gradually pour in the milk and cream, whisking continuously. It's important to whisk constantly to ensure the mixture remains smooth and lump-free. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook until it starts to thicken.

  • 5
    Add the potatoes, sweetcorn, cooked chicken, bacon, salt, pepper, and paprika to the pot.

    Now it's time to add the diced potatoes, sweetcorn kernels, cooked and diced chicken breast, crispy bacon, a pinch of salt, a few grinds of black pepper, and a teaspoon of paprika to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  • 6
    Let the chowder simmer until the potatoes are tender.

    Reduce the heat to low and let the chowder simmer. Check the potatoes for tenderness by inserting a fork; if it slides in easily, the chowder is ready. This should take about 20-25 minutes, depending on the potato size and personal preference for doneness.

  • 7
    Serve the chowder hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs if desired.

    Once the chowder has finished cooking, remove it from the heat. Serve it hot, and consider garnishing with some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added color and freshness. Enjoy your delicious homemade Chicken and Sweetcorn Chowder.

    Upon examining the recipe for Chicken and Sweetcorn Chowder, I must admit that it appears to be a quintessential comfort food dish, replete with creamy potatoes, succulent chicken, and sweetcorn kernels. However, as an individual with a predilection for Japanese cuisine, I found the dish to be somewhat lacking in terms of complexity and depth of flavor. The utilization of onion, garlic, and paprika does provide a certain je ne sais quoi, but it does not particularly resonate with my personal taste preferences. Additionally, I must express a degree of trepidation regarding the potential presence of MSG in the specified ingredients, particularly in the all-purpose flour. Therefore, whilst I applaud the recipe's emphasis on hearty, homely fare, I must reserve a certain degree of criticism owing to its not aligning perfectly with my gastronomical inclinations.

    🍲 Oh mi amor! This Chicken and Sweetcorn Chowder recipe is delicioso... but I have to admit, it's not exactly what this Latin American food lover's heart desires 😊. The combination of chicken, sweetcorn, and potatoes is rico, and the use of bacon and paprika adds a nice smoked flavor 🍖. However, I'm a bit sad that I have to substitute the regular milk with a non-dairy alternative, como almond or soy milk 🥛. Still, the instructions are fáciles to follow, even for someone who doesn't speak English as their first language 📚. And the result is a hearty, comforting soup that's perfect for a cold winter night ❄️. So if you like traditional American soups, you'll amor this recipe 🇺🇸. ¡Buen provencho!

    Oh my goodness, I am literally **dying** over the fact that this Chicken and Sweetcorn Chowder recipe is just not meant to be for me!!! As a vegetarian, I mean, can you even imagine - chicken and bacon? It's like, not even an option for my taste buds! And don't even get me started on the lactose situation... all that cream and milk? Totally a no-go for my sensitive stomach . I need something that's gonna cater to my Pakistaani food cravings, you know? Give me a big bowl of haleem any day! But hey, I've got to give credit where credit is due - the instructions are pretty easy to follow, and I love the addition of paprika for extra flavor. Maybe some veggie alternatives and lactose-free milk could save this recipe from the bin? Let's get creative, folks! #vegetarianlife #lactosefree #pakistanicuisine

    I recently attempted to adapt the Chicken and Sweetcorn Chowder recipe to my halal dietary requirements by substituting the bacon with a halal alternative. The procedure, akin to a recursive loop, involved iterating through each step to ensure compatibility. While the outcome was satisfactory, I found the flavors to be relatively mild, somewhat akin to a primitive data type, lacking the richness and complexity I am accustomed to in traditional Pakistani cuisine. The dish, much like an unoptimized algorithm, could benefit from further refinement to elevate it to my expected standards. Nonetheless, I acknowledge the recipe's potential, akin to a well-structured data structure, and would consider modifying it to incorporate more aromatic spices and basmati rice to create a more authentic, Eastern-inspired flavor profile.

    I must commence by acknowledging the endeavour undertaken to devise a hearty and comforting recipe, such as the Chicken and Sweetcorn Chowder. Nonetheless, upon scrutinising the ingredients and methodology, I discern a notable discrepancy with my dietary predilections. As a adherent of a halal diet, I do not encounter any concerns with the utilisation of chicken or sweetcorn. However, the presence of bacon, an animal by-product not permissible in my diet, precludes me from partaking in this culinary experience. Furthermore, as an individual with lactose intolerance, the copious amount of dairy products, namely butter, milk, and cream, employed in the recipe exacerbates my reservations. I would propose a modified version of the recipe, incorporating halal alternatives to bacon and substituting dairy products with lactose-free substitutes or plant-based alternatives, to render the dish more inclusive and amenable to a diverse range of palates.

    This Chicken and Sweetcorn Chowder recipe is a decent attempt at a hearty, comforting soup. While it is not a traditional Danish dish, it has a familiar, homely quality to it. The use of chicken, potatoes, and sweetcorn creates a satisfying and filling meal. However, as a pescatarian, I would have preferred a seafood-based recipe. To adapt this to my tastes, I would consider replacing the chicken with shrimp or cod. Overall, the instructions are clear and easy to follow, resulting in a rich and creamy chowder. The cooking time and difficulty level are also well-suited for a weeknight dinner.

    As I delved into the recipe for Chicken and Sweetcorn Chowder, I couldn't help but feel a sense of detachment, a lack of rapport with the ingredients and the method, owing to my vegetarian inclinations. The absence of gluten was a welcome aspect, however, the presence of chicken and bacon rendered the dish untenable for my palate. Furthermore, the dearth of bold, rich flavours akin to those found in traditional Mexican cuisine, such as the velvety texture of mole, left me somewhat unenthused. While the instructions were meticulously detailed, and the presentation of the recipe was quite polished, I fear that this particular chowder would not satiate my gastronomical desires, which yearn for a harmony of flavours and a symphony of textures, a culinary experience that transcends the mundane and enter the realm of the sublime.

    While I appreciate the hearty and comforting nature of this Chicken and Sweetcorn Chowder, I must admit that it doesn't align with my dietary preferences as a vegetarian. The inclusion of chicken breast and bacon means that I would need to make significant modifications to the recipe in order to enjoy it. Additionally, the use of all-purpose flour presents a challenge for me due to my gluten intolerance. However, I do appreciate the traditional Irish influences that are likely present in this recipe, and I think that with some creative substitutions - such as using gluten-free flour and vegetable-based bacon alternatives - this chowder could be adapted to suit my tastes. The detailed instructions and emphasis on proper cooking techniques are also noteworthy, and I appreciate the suggestion to garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and visual appeal.

    I'd give this recipe 3/5 stars. It's a decent chowder but it's pretty mild and doesn't really bring the heat, ya feel? As someone who's used to spicy Sichuan cuisine, I found this dish to be a bit of a low-DPS (damage per second) experience. That being said, the instructions are easy to follow and the dish is relatively EZ to make. One major con is that some of the ingredients, like the all-purpose flour, might contain MSG, which is a major no-go for me. Overall, it's an okay recipe but it needs a buff to the spice level to make it truly OP (overpowered). GL (good luck) to anyone trying to recreate this recipe and don't forget to add some chillies or hot sauce to give it a kick!

    I just went through this Chicken and Sweetcorn Chowder recipe and while it looks delicious and comforting, I must admit it's not really my cup of tea. As someone who loves traditional Middle Eastern flavors, I found the ingredients and method quite different from what I'm used to. I do appreciate the use of bacon to add flavor, and the overall idea of a hearty soup is great, especially for a cold day. However, I think I would love to try a modified version of this with some Middle Eastern twists - maybe add some sumac or cumin to give it a boost of flavor. The method seems easy to follow and the pictures would definitely make my mouth water, but I wish there were some variations or suggestions for those who want to add a bit of international flair. Overall, a solid recipe, but I'll have to experiment and adjust it to my taste preferences.

  • LuluArg93

    I like this recipe, it's easy to follow and the result is delicioso. The chicken and sweetcorn are a good combination, and I like that it has potatoes to make it more filling. My only problem is that it has a lot of lactose products like milk and cream, so I need to find a substitute for these. Maybe I can use a non-dairy milk and some type of cheese that is lactose-free. I give it 4 stars because it's a good recipe, but I need to make some changes to make it suitable for my tastes.

    I'm lovin' this Chicken and Sweetcorn Chowder recipe, fam! It's like a big ol' hug in a bowl - comforting, creamy, and packed with tasty ingredients. The fact that it's got crispy bacon in it is just the icing on the cake (or should I say, the sprinkle of paprika on top?). My only gripe is that it's not explicitly gluten-free, what with the all-purpose flour and all. No biggie, though - I can just sub that out with some gluten-free flour and I'm golden. Anyway, the instructions are straightforward, and the cook time is reasonable. If you're lookin' for a solid, crowd-pleasin' recipe to pair with your favorite craft beer (I'm thinkin' a malty, caramel-flavored amber ale would be a great match), this is definitely worth a try. Cheers!
