Preparation

Peel, then cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
Add potatoes and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
Roast in the middle of the oven, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden-brown, 22-25 min.

Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions.
Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Core, then finely chop jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños!)

Pat diced chicken dry with paper towels, then place on another cutting board.
Cut any large chicken chunks into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
When the pot is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then chicken.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden-brown, 2-3 min. (NOTE: Chicken will finish cooking in step 5.)
Reduce heat to medium. Add corn, garlic, Zesty Garlic Blend, Cream Sauce Spice Blend and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) jalapeños. (NOTE: Reference heat guide.)
Stir until chicken and corn are coated, 30 sec.

Add 1 1/2 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and broth concentrates. Bring to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, reduce to medium-low, then add 1/2 cup (1 cup) milk.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until chowder thickens slightly and chicken is cooked through, 5-7 min.** (TIP: If potatoes are not ready yet, remove chowder from heat, then cover to keep warm.)
When potatoes are tender, add to chowder.
Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
