  • Author: dana-r

  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Diet: Pescatarian

Description

A luxurious blend of tender chicken and succulent lobster in a creamy broth, perfect for cozy nights or impressing guests.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it’s translucent, then stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Build the Flavor: Pour in the chicken broth and add thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring it to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to marry beautifully.
  3. Add the Goodies: Once the broth is simmering, gently stir in the shredded chicken and chopped lobster meat. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Creamy Finish: Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Warm it through without boiling, as the cream can separate if overheated.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnish with fresh chives, and enjoy this comforting and luxurious meal!

Notes

Don’t stress if your bisque looks a tad lumpy; it’s part of the magic! Pair with a crusty loaf of bread or a fresh salad.
