Instructions
- Core, then finely chop jalapeños, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños!)
- Drain, then rinse corn and pat dry with paper towels. (NOTE: If you received canned corn, only use half the corn for 2 ppl. Reserve the remaining for another creation.)
- Peel, then cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Cut bacon into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then bacon. Cook, stirring often, until golden, 3-5 min.**
- Remove the pot from heat. Carefully drain and discard excess fat, reserving 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) in the pot.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange on an unlined baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over top. Roast in the middle of the oven for 9-12 min, until golden and cooked through. **
- Add leeks and 1/2 tbsp jalapeños to the pot with bacon (NOTE: Reference heat guide.).
- Cook, stirring often, until veggies soften, 1-2 min.
- Add flour, half the garlic puree and half the paprika. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 sec.
- Add corn, potatoes, broth concentrate and 2 cups (4 cups) water. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to medium.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, 12-14 min. (TIP: If you want a thicker consistency, cook the chowder for a few minutes longer.)
- Add cream and cook, stirring often, until warmed through, 1-2 min.
- While chowder cooks, halve buns.
- Arrange on an unlined baking sheet, cut-sides up.
- Combine remaining garlic puree and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) softened butter in a small bowl, then season with salt and pepper.
- Spread garlic butter over buns.
- Broil in the middle of the oven until golden-brown, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on buns so they don't burn!)
- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide chowder between bowls. Top bowls with chicken.
- Sprinkle remaining paprika and remaining jalapeños over top, if desired.
- Serve garlic bread alongside.
