Recipe Friday

This is one I stole from one of my mother-in-law's posts. I made it last week and the whole family liked it. The kids especially ate it up, which is always nice. Thanks Tia! :)

Chicken Chowder

1 pkg bacon
1 onion chopped
1 C water
10-12 potatoes
3 lbs chicken tenders
2 cans corn (undrained)
2 cans evaporated milk
2 cans water
4 cans cream of potato soup
2% milk
salt and pepper


Cut bacon into 1-2 inch strips and fry in a stock pan until crisp. Meanwhile, put chicken tenders in pot and cover with water adding salt, pepper and garlic- cook until done. Also, cook potatoes while in pan of water ( like with funeral potatoes but I peeled them first). When bacon is crisp drain off most of the grease but cook chopped onions and 1 cup water in same stock pot with crisp bacon and drippings. Stir in 2 cans evaporated milk and rinse the cans with water for the 2 cans of water listed above. Add 4 cans cream of potato soup and rinse each can out with water, adding a little more water to the soup base. Stir in chicken tenders cut into chunks with broth. Chop up the precooked potatoes and add to chowder. Add corn. Add 2% milk for chowder consistency with parsley and salt and pepper. Note: this makes lots! It filled the pot I use to cook corn on the cob in. Probably want to 1/2 the recipe for family use.
