How To Make Our Mexican Cheesy Chicken Corn Chowder Recipe:

To begin making this delicious chicken corn chowder dinner, place a large dutch oven or soup pot on the oven, turn the heat on high, and add the butter to the pot to melt it.

Once the butter is melted, add the chicken and diced onion to the pot and cook it all until the chicken is no longer pink.

Next add in the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper all chopped, along with the minced garlic, and let it all cook together for another 1-2 minutes. 

After those have all started to become tender, pour the chicken broth into the pot along with adding in the cumin and bring it all to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes. 

Now it is time to stir in the half-and-half, shredded Mexican cheese, creamed corn, diced chiles, and hot pepper sauce if you want it, and stir it all together. 

While the cheese melts, continue to stir everything together and let everything warm up. 

Then lastly add the diced tomato and stir it into the creamy chicken corn chowder. 

Now serve it up with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Should You Seed the Jalapeno Pepper?

The answer to this is 100% up to personal preference. If you are a person that loves spicy dishes and can handle some heat, then I would give leaving some if not all of the seeds and give it a shot! 

However, if you are not one for super bold spicy flavor, I would skip the seeds for this recipe. If you aren’t sure how to seed a jalapeno, Williams Sonoma Taste has a great blog that will tell you how to seed a jalapeno pepper to make sure that you don’t have some surprise heat in the corn chowder.
