Instructions

Over medium-low heat, in a small skillet, melt the butter and stir in panko. Cook, stirring often until golden brown.
In a large pan or cooker, add the butter and olive oil. Stir in the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for an additional minute.
Stir in the broth, cream, rosemary, thyme, sage, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken.
Stir in the chicken, corn, and peas. Cook for 5-7 minutes until bubbling and thickened. Remove the rosemary, thyme, sage, and bay leaf. Serve individual portions with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs.

Notes

Take the herb shortcut. A “poultry pack” of fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage is often sold together and saves you from buying each one individually.
Swap the chicken for leftover Thanksgiving turkey.
Swap flour for cornstarch flurry.
