I like to serve this hearty chowder with garlic bread and a salad. It's a wonderful dish to prepare when company drops in. The rich, mild flavor and tender chicken and vegetables appeal even to children and picky eaters. —Hazel Fritchie, Palestine, Illinois

I've been making this for years and it's delicious. Of course I'm sure I use more than 2 cups of cheese:). It's quick and easy with lots of flavor.
