Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 3 cups frozen corn
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnishes: chopped green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, crispy bacon bits
Instructions
- Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, chop the onion finely, and mince the garlic cloves.
- Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot.
- Layer the diced potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, and corn on top of the chicken.
- Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients until everything is submerged. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, shred it directly in the crockpot using two forks. Stir to distribute evenly.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until a smooth paste forms. Slowly add the heavy cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
- Pour the cream mixture into the crockpot and stir well. Let the chowder cook for an additional 20-30 minutes to thicken.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot, garnished with green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, or crispy bacon bits.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, swap heavy cream with coconut milk. For a gluten-free option, use cornstarch instead of flour. Adjust the thickness by adding more chicken broth or making extra flour-butter slurry.
