Ingredients

✅ For the Chowder:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 ½ cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 cup diced potatoes (Yukon gold or russet)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for spice)

✅ For Creaminess & Garnish:

 

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream (or coconut milk for dairy-free)
  • ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
  • Chopped green onions or fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Ingredients

  • Dice the potatoes, onion, and garlic.
  • Cook and crumble the bacon, if using.

2️⃣ Slow Cook the Chicken & Corn

  • Add chicken, corn, potatoes, onion, garlic, and seasonings to the slow cooker.
  • Pour in chicken broth and stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.

3️⃣ Shred the Chicken

  • Remove the chicken breasts, shred with two forks, and return to the slow cooker.

4️⃣ Add Cream & Cheese

  • Stir in half-and-half (or heavy cream) and shredded cheddar cheese.
  • If you prefer a thicker chowder, mix cornstarch + water and stir it in.
  • Let cook for 15–20 minutes more on LOW until thick and creamy.

5️⃣ Garnish & Serve

 

  • Ladle into bowls and top with bacon, green onions, or parsley.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a lighter version: Use milk instead of heavy cream.
