Expert Tips

Look for frozen cubed cooked chicken in the grocery store's freezer case.

Use leftover roasted, baked or grilled chicken in this chowder; cube and measure 2 cups. Mild Mexican-flavored prepared cheese product adds a little zing to this soup. If you prefer less spice, use the regular prepared cheese product.

Made this for supper tonight. It was very good. Didn't have any hash-brown potatoes, so thickened the chowder with instant potato flakes. Also used a large can of chicken meat. My husband was amazed that it tasted so good without any added seasoning. Served the chowder with golden brown Pillsbury Grands Biscuits.
