This has become my favorite chowder. I love it! Added some of the bacon as the chicken was added and used some for garnish..so delicious. I keep making it again and again.

This is spectacular!!! I left out bay leaves because I didn't have any. Next time I will use less jalapeno and cayenne because it was way to spicy for my younger children. My older daughter and I loved it but still considered it a little too spicy for us too. I will make this again and tweak slightly to cut down on the spice. YUMMY!!!

the whipping cream seems a little too rich for me. I may try it with whole milk or even 2%.
