Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 carrot, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

4 cups chicken broth

2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, carrot, and celery, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until everything is fragrant and tender.

    Add Chicken and Broth: Stir in the shredded chicken, chicken broth, corn, and diced potatoes. Season with thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.

      Simmer the Chowder: Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

        Make it Creamy: Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the heavy cream. If you prefer a thicker chowder, whisk the cornstarch with a little water in a separate bowl and gradually stir it into the chowder. Allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes until thickened.

          Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.

            Serve and Garnish: Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread for a perfect meal!
