In Gretna, Louisiana, Will Zunino simmers this rich and creamy creation in his slow cooker. Because the chowder is ready in less than 4 hours, it can be prepared in the afternoon and served to dinner guests that night.

I have made this recipe for football playoff games and superbowl. I have always received compliments on this dish. I do use a can of shrimp soup instead of chicken and also add crab meat. This is a easy and delicious dish for those cold football days.
