- Ladle into serving bowls and garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve hot with optional side of crusty bread or crackers.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, shred the chicken and dice the potatoes in advance. This will make the cooking process smoother and quicker.
- Adjust the Spice: The amount of buffalo sauce can be tailored to your taste. Start with less if you prefer a milder flavor, and add more until you reach your desired heat level.
- Creamy Consistency: For an extra creamy chowder, consider adding a bit more heavy cream or even a splash of cream cheese to enhance the richness.
- Garnish for Flair: Don’t skip the green onions! They add a fresh crunch and a pop of color that makes your chowder look as good as it tastes.
- Serve with Sides: Pair your chowder with crusty bread or crunchy crackers for a delightful contrast in textures and to soak up every last drop of that flavorful broth.
- Leftovers Love: This chowder stores well in the refrigerator for up to three days. Simply reheat on the stove, adding a splash of broth if it thickens too much.
