The Story
Click to expand
This started as a corn and cheese chowder. I added the chicken because I don’t want to have to cook something separate for my family to get a good protein. So, out of laziness this was born. It is quick weeknight dinner that is warm, cheesy and delicious. Now it is heavy on the corn. So, you can always use a 12oz bag of corn and this would still be delicious! You should try it…like now.
