Ingredients

12 oz. skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 ears of sweet corn
1 (32 oz.) container of low-sodium chicken broth
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup whole milk
2 cups instant mashed potatoes
2 tsps. crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

In a Dutch oven combine chicken, corn and broth. Cover; bring to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat. Simmer 12 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove chicken and corn to cutting board. Add half the pepper to broth in Dutch oven. Stir in milk and potato flakes (if you want the chowder thicker, continue adding potato flakes in 1/4 cup increments until you get to your desired thickness).
