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

Hubby not wild about this - could make once in while in winter.

Definitely a keeper! I halved the recipe since there is only my husband and I, but wish I would have made the full recipe for leftovers. I recommend a "good" cheese, not from a bag. I used a sharp white cheddar and it gave it great flavor. Served it with a salad and sour dough hard rolls to dunk with.

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.
