Chicken and Corn Chowder

Ingredients

  • 4 Whole Corn on the Cob
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 200g Bacon Lardons
  • 1 Large Onion (diced)
  • 400g Chicken Breast (diced)
  • 400g Potatoes (diced)
  • 1 tablespoon Plain Flour
  • 500ml Milk
  • 500ml Chicken Stock
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Tarragon (chopped)

Directions

1. Remove and husk and silk, then using a sharp knife, cut away the corn kernels and set aside
2. In a large pot, add the oil and bacon. Fry until cooked through, then add the onions. Continue to fry until the onions are just softened but not browned, and the bacon is crisp.
3. Lift out the bacon and onion and put to one side, leaving the oil and bacon fat in the pan. Add the diced chicken and fry until cooked through and browned
4. Add the potatoes, the sweetcorn and a tablespoon of flour. Cook for five minutes stirring frequently so as not to burn
5. Pour in the stock and milk, then add back the bacon and onion, along with the tarragon, then bring to the boil. Turn the heat down a little and simmer for 10-15 minutes or so until the potatoes are tender and starting to crumble
6. Serve with a little fresh chopped tarragon sprinkled on top
