Chicken Sweet Corn And Green Chile Chowder

• 2 chicken breasts partially frozen to make slicing a bit easier
• 4 slices smoked bacon thinly sliced across
• 1 sweet onion medium, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups frozen sweet corn or fresh
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1 1/2 cups green chilies fresh roasted, skins removed and chopped
• 3 1/2 cups water divided
• 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
• 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 2 grated Parmesan cheese rounded tablespoons
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2/3 cup whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro lightly packed finely, coriander
• salt
• pepper

1. Slice chicken breasts into thirds lengthwise. Holding the breast slices together, slice very thinly across; set aside until ready to use.
2. In a non-stick stockpot set over medium high heat, cook the bacon until it is golden brown. Add the chopped onion and saute until they are transparent; add the garlic and green chilies and saute for one minute longer before adding the chicken pieces and cooking for approximately 3 - 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked. Add three cups of the water and bring to a simmer before adding the chicken bouillon, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
3. Just before the 15 minutes is up, make a slurry by placing the flour in a small bowl and, while stirring constantly, adding the remaining 1/2 cup (125ml) water in a slow stream. Remove the cover from the pot and slowly pour in the slurry while stirring the soup. Turn the heat up to medium and, while stirring constantly, cook the soup for approximately 2 minutes longer. Add the Parmesan, cheddar, whipping cream, cilantro and salt and pepper. Heat for a moment longer before removing from the heat and serving piping hot.
