Prep the Chicken: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

      Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours until the vegetables are tender.

        Add Cream: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream to the chowder. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

          Serve: Once done, ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with chopped parsley. For extra flavor, top with crumbled bacon or shredded cheese if desired.

            Enjoy: This hearty chowder pairs beautifully with crusty bread or rolls for a comforting fall meal!
