Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 pieces (1 lb) boneless chicken breasts
- 2 cups sweet corn
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Sauté Base – Melt butter in large pot over medium heat until bubbly. Add diced onions and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent (about 3-4 minutes)
- Step 2: Cook Chicken – Add diced chicken breasts to pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until no longer pink on outside
- Step 3: Add Vegetables – Stir in cubed potatoes and corn kernels, mixing well to combine with chicken and aromatics
- Step 4: Add Liquids – Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, then add dried thyme. Stir everything together thoroughly
- Step 5: Simmer – Bring mixture to gentle simmer, then reduce heat and cook 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender and chicken is fully cooked
- Step 6: Season and Serve – Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately while hot
Notes
- Cut chicken into uniform 1-inch pieces for even cooking and perfect bite-sized portions
- Use frozen corn if fresh isn’t available – add it directly without thawing for best texture
- Dice potatoes into ½-inch cubes so they cook through without becoming mushy
- Keep heat at medium-low during simmering to prevent cream from curdling or separating
