Chicken and Corn Chowder

I really stink at taking pictures of my recipes! Anyway, I made this chowder last night and it was a crowd-pleaser, so I wanted to share.

Ingredients

• 1-2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
• 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  
• 2 cups frozen corn
  
• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 cups chicken stock (you can add a little more if need be.)
  
• 1/2-2 cups half and half
• 2 tbsp flour mixed with 2 tbsp of half and half
  
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp dried dill or 1 tbsp fresh dill
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• salt and pepper to taste

Cook and cube chicken (Personally, I think it's easiest to cook the chicken covered in the microwave.), In a large stock pot, melt the butter and then add your garlic; saute for a couple of minutes. Then, add your stock, potatoes, and chicken. Cook until potatoes are almost tender. Add your corn, spices, and half and half. Simmer (stirring occasionally) for about 10-15 minutes to allow all those lovely flavors to come together. Add your flour/half and half mixture and simmer (stirring occasionally) a couple more minutes to thicken. Serve with salad and biscuits or crusty bread. Yummy!
Serves 4-8 depending on just how hungry everyone is. :0)
