Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
  • 2 medium potatoes peeled and 1/2-inch diced
  • 1 small yellow onion chopped
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 20 ounces corn fresh, frozen, or canned (if using canned, drain first)
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth plus additional to taste
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 red bell pepper cored and finely chopped
  • chopped fresh green onion optional for serving

Equipment

  • Dutch oven or large skillet
  • Slow cooker

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a Dutch oven or similar large skillet, melt the butter and oil over medium-high heat. Add the potato, onion, salt, and black pepper. Sauté until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the garlic, rosemary, and cayenne. Let cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a slow cooker. Place the sautéed potatoes and onions on top. Add the corn. Pour in 2 cups of the chicken broth.
  4. Cover and cook until the potatoes are completely tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 2 to 3 hours on low (for breasts) or 4 to 5 hours on low (for thighs).
  5. Remove the chicken from the chowder and set aside on a cutting board to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, chop into bite-sized pieces.
  6. With an immersion blender, puree the chowder until it thickens, leaving the texture fairly chunky.
  7. In a medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup, stir together the milk and cornstarch until smooth. Add to the slow cooker. Add in chicken. Stir in the Greek yogurt and bell pepper.
  8. Recover and cook on high for 20 to 30 minutes, until thickened. Adjust the consistency with additional broth if desired.
