Equipment

  • 4 qt sauce pan
  • measuring spoons
  • measuring cups
  • garlic press

Ingredients  

  • 32 oz unsalted chicken broth; I use Swanson
  • oz shredded chicken breast
  • 1 medium onion
  • large ribs celery
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • oz diced frozen hash browns
  • 1 c frozen corn
  • ¾ c frozen peas
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 1 packet reduced sodium chicken gravy mix, I use McCormicks
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp lemon pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ¾ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried tarragon
  • ¼ c dehydrated potato flakes, I used Hungry Jacks
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Chop the onion and celery.
  • Heat the olive oil in the sauce pan. Add the onion and celery and saute until it is translucent and tender.
  • Run the garlic cloves through a garlic press or finely mince it. Add it to the onion and celery and saute for a min or less until it is tender and aromatic.
  • Add the broth, gravy mix, pepper, lemon pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to the pan and stir together. Crumble the dried tarragon and add it to the pan.
  • Add the hash browns and chopped carrots to the pan and cook on medium for about 10 min or until fork tender.
  • Add in the corn, peas and chicken stir and cook an additional 5 or so min.
  • Taste the chowder and add salt to taste, a ¼ tsp at a time until you satisfied with the flavor. I used ¼ tsp salt.
  • If you are satisfied with the thickness of the chowder, its done. If it's on the thin side and you want it thicker then stir in ¼ c of dehydrated potato flakes. I find this varies depending on how much liquid the frozen vegetables give off - sometime the gravy mix is sufficient to thicken it and sometimes it's a bit thin and needs the potato flakes. If you add the potato flakes, make sure it is heated through.
  • Serve and enjoy. Store the left overs in the refrigerator.

Notes

I used the dehydrated potato flakes and they are included in the nutritional info and WW pts.
