Servings: 6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 6–7 hours low / 3–4 hours high
Method: Crockpot / Slow Cooker
Ingredients:
1½–2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
2 cans (14.75 oz each) cream-style corn
1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 pound yellow potatoes, diced small
Directions:
Add the diced potatoes to the bottom of your slow cooker. Place the chicken breasts or thighs on top in an even layer.
Pour in the cream-style corn and drained whole kernel corn. Add the chicken broth until ingredients are mostly covered. Lightly stir around the edges.
Cover and cook:
LOW: 6–7 hours
HIGH: 3–4 hours
Cook until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are soft. The chowder will thicken naturally as it cooks.
Remove chicken, shred with two forks, and return it to the crockpot. Stir well to create a thick, creamy chowder texture.
Add extra broth if thinner texture is desired, or cook uncovered 15–20 minutes more to thicken. Serve hot.
