Loree's Country Chicken Chowder

 Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter
1-1/2 pounds chicken tenders, cut into ½" chunks
2 medium onions, diced
1 celery rib, diced
2 carrots, sliced
1 can of corn
2-10 ounce cans cream of potato soup
1-1/2 cups chicken broth
½ teaspoon dill weed
½ cup half-and-half (whole milk works; you'll just have slightly thinner 'broth')

Directions:

Melt butter in a large skillet.
Add chicken
Once meat is golden brown, add onions, carrots, celery, corn, soup, dill and broth to your slow cooker.
Cover and cook on LOW 5-6 hours.
Turn off heat and add half-and-half

Garnish with parsley, spinach, or croutons and enjoy!
