Cooking Steps
- Cut bacon into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat (use same for 4 ppl). When hot, add bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 5-7 min.** (TIP: If bacon begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium.)
- Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve bacon fat in pot.
- While bacon cooks, on a clean cutting board, peel, then cut potato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Thinly slice green onion.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Pan-fry on one side for 6-7 min, until golden. Flip, then cover and continue cooking for 6-7 min, until cooked through.**
- Reheat the same pot over medium heat.
- When hot, add mirepoix, corn and potatoes. Cook, stirring often, until veggies are tender-crisp, 4-5 min.

- Add vegetable stock powder, cream and 2 cups (3 1/2 cups) water. Bring to a simmer over high, then reduce heat to medium.
