• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Finely chop brown onion and garlic. Drain sweetcorn. Roughly tear kale leaves (see ingredients), then discard stem. Cut potato and carrot into small chunks. Thinly slice spring onion. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • Place potato and carrot on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook diced bacon and onion, breaking up bacon with a spoon, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Add corn and cooked chicken and cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
• Add garlic and Nan's special seasoning cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and flour, stir to combine. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook until slightly thickened, 5-6 minutes.
• Cut or tear the bake-at-home ciabatta (see ingredients) into bite-sized chunks. • Place ciabatta chunks on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. • Bake until golden, 5-7 minutes.
• When the soup is ready, remove from heat, then stir through roasted veggies, kale and light cooking cream.
• Divide chicken, bacon and corn chowder between bowls. • Top with cheesy croutons and spring onion to serve. Enjoy!
