Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces
• 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the diced chicken breasts to the pot and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Slowly stir in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and loosen any browned bits.

Step 6

Add the diced potatoes, corn, bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through. Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve hot, optionally garnished with chopped parsley.
