Last night's dinner was a variation on this recipe, given to me by [livejournal.com profile] sweet_tea79-she got it from Cooking Light magazine.



2 Tbsp butter
1/4 c. chopped onion
1/4 c. chopped celery
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
3 c. 2% milk (i used 1%, still yummy)
2 c. chopped, roasted skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 2 breast halves). ([livejournal.com profile] sweet_tea79 cooked them on the foreman grill and dusted them with garlic, chili, and paprika. adobo would be yummy, but she was out.)
1 (14-3/4) oz can cream-style corn
1-1/2 c. chopped fresh or frozen corn kernels
1 tsp fresh or 1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1/4 tsp salt

Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, cook onion, celery, and jalapeno pepper until tender (~3 mins), stirring frequently. Add flour, cook 1 min, stirring constantly. Stir in milk and remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, cook until thick (~5mins). Makes 6 servings.

My variations...

I used two cans of really well drained green chilis, because I had that in the house. I also added a can of really well drained diced tomatoes.

I brushed the chicken with a little bit of olive oil and seasoned it with black pepper, some salt, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin and cinnamon, then grilled it in the grill pan.

I also added a little chili powder and cumin to the soup as it was cooking.

The verdict...really yummy. I'll almost certainly make it again. Cayne wanted a little more chicken in it, which isn't a big deal...just grill some extra chicken. But certainly worth making again.
