# Instructions:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside the cooked chicken.
02 - In the same pot, sauté diced onion and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Add diced potatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes while stirring.
03 - Pour in chicken broth and add corn, thyme, pepper, and salt. Simmer until potatoes become tender, approximately 10 minutes.
04 - Stir in heavy cream and milk. Return chicken to pot and simmer gently for 10 minutes until the chowder thickens slightly and flavors combine beautifully.
05 - Add butter for richness and adjust seasonings to taste. For a thicker consistency, mash some potatoes right in the pot.

# Notes:

01 - This hearty chowder combines tender chicken, sweet corn, and creamy potatoes in a rich, velvety broth perfect for chilly days
02 - For a thicker consistency, use an immersion blender to puree a portion before adding chicken back in
03 - Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
