For this month’s Secret Recipe Club, I was paired with Jenn from A Cook’s Quest. Jenn was assigned to my blog a few months ago (she made my jalapeno popper mac and cheese), so I was especially excited to have the opportunity to try one of her recipes! Jenn has tons of family-friendly recipes that look really tasty, and it was difficult to decide what to make. I eventually settled on this chicken and corn chowder, which is perfect for the cold, rainy weather that we’ve been having. Even better, it’s made in a crockpot – perfect for a weeknight.
Of course I had to spice it up a little: chicken and corn is the perfect backdrop for southwestern flavors, so I kicked the chowder up with jalapeno, Old Bay, and cilantro. I also added the corn cobs to the broth the extract even more sweet corn flavor. Served with crusty bread and butter, this was a really comforting dinner!
(PSA: Please, please, please make sure you turn your crockpot off at dinnertime. And if you’re in the market for a new crockpot, spend the extra few dollars for one that turns itself off after a set amount of time, just to be extra safe. I forgot to turn mine off and only realized it hours later when all of the liquid had cooked off and I was left with a smelly, burned mess. It wasn’t pretty and, well, it kind of freaked me out. I have a feeling I’m going to be pretty paranoid about turning it off in the future!)

Corn chowder is a favorite cold weather meal and it is cold in Utah! This will be on the dinner menu soon. I add jalapeno to most everything!

Corn chowder is one of my favorite kinds of soup! YUM. I’m going to have to try this one since it has a meat in it.
Happy Reveal Day!

I’ve never had a chicken corn chowder with jalapenos, but I wouldn’t be opposed to it!
