In this meal, we're adding all kinds of delicious parts for a whole chowder that's tasty beyond its components. Diced chicken combined with sweet corn and feisty poblano, then simmered in cream to achieve supreme soup sublimation. (In one pot, no less!)

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Quarter lime.
Halve and peel onion. Cut halves into 1/4" dice.Stem poblano, seed, and cut into 1/2" dice. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.Pat chicken dry, and season all over with a pinch of pepper. -
2 Sear the Chicken
Place a medium pot over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pot and stir occasionally until browned on two sides, 4-6 minutes.
Transfer to a plate. Chicken will finish cooking in a later step. Reserve pot; no need to wipe clean. -
3 Start the Chowder
Return pot used to sear chicken to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.
Add onion and poblano (use less if spice-averse) to hot pot. Stir often until vegetables are slightly softened, 3-5 minutes.Stir in corn and chile and cumin rub until combined. -
4 Finish the Chowder
Add chicken and any accumulated juices, 1/2 cup water, cream base, and chicken base to hot pot. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Once simmering, stir occasionally until slightly thickened and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.For a thinner consistency, stir in additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.Remove from burner. Season with a pinch of pepper. -
