How to Make Easy Crockpot Chicken Corn Chowder
Begin by dicing the potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion. Mince the garlic to ensure that every bite is bursting with flavor—this step takes only about 15 minutes!
Place the chicken breasts or thighs at the bottom of the crockpot. Follow with your prepped vegetables and seasonings. Pour in the chicken broth to bring everything together smoothly.
Gently stir in the corn kernels—whether fresh, frozen, or canned—allowing their sweetness to mix with the other ingredients.
Cover your crockpot and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours. You know it’s ready when the chicken is tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.
After cooking, remove the chicken pieces, shred them, and return the shredded chicken back to the chowder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour with the heavy cream. Gradually add this mixture to the chowder, then let it cook on HIGH for 15-20 minutes to thicken deliciously.
Once thickened to your liking, taste the chowder and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls, garnishing with fresh parsley if desired to enhance the presentation!
This easy crockpot chicken corn chowder recipe maintains its deliciousness even after being stored, making it perfect for meal prep!
