1 small onion finely chopped
1 clove of garlic finely chopped
1 Liter of chicken stock

Method
Heat butter in a large saucepan.
Braise chicken and onions in the butter
Add chicken stock, garlic , creamed corn and corn kernels and the salt and pepper . Bring to the boil stirring.
Combine cornflour, cream, and water in a seperate bowl.
I add a tablespoon of chicken a la king powder mix just to elevate the flavor , this is optional .
Add to saucepan, stir and simmer until thickened.
At this stage you may add chopped chili , chopped coriander .
Please note , if you don't have chicken stock all you do is use 5 pieces of chicken on the bone and remove the skin , and add one liter of water after lightly braising chicken and onions - cook on a medium simmer for 20 minutes - remove chicken , wait to cool , remove the bones and discard , now follow the recipe and add the chopped cooked chicken and the liquid is your stock .
