Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, or leftover rotisserie chicken)

Vegetables

  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained (or 1 cup fresh or frozen corn)
  • 1 cup diced potatoes
  • 1 cup diced onions

Liquids and Dairy

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Chopped green onions or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash and dice the potatoes and onions, shred cooked chicken if not pre-shredded, and drain canned corn. Gather all other ingredients and measure them out to have everything ready before cooking.
  2. Layer Ingredients in Crockpot: Place diced potatoes and onions at the bottom of the crockpot to ensure even cooking. Add shredded chicken and corn on top. This layering helps the vegetables cook evenly and allows flavors to meld.
  3. Add Seasonings and Liquids: Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the ingredients. Pour in the chicken broth followed by the heavy cream, which adds richness and creaminess to the chowder.
  4. Cook in Crockpot: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours. Slow cooking melds the flavors and tenderizes the vegetables. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your crockpot model.
  5. Check and Thicken if Desired: After cooking, check that the potatoes are tender by piercing with a fork. If you prefer a thicker chowder, mash some of the potatoes directly in the pot and stir well to incorporate the starches.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy this comforting and creamy meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk for a lighter chowder, but the texture will be creamier with heavy cream.
  • Feel free to add other veggies like carrots or celery for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Using leftover rotisserie chicken saves time and adds extra savory flavor.
  • For a smoky twist, try using roasted corn instead of canned or frozen corn.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, and add a pinch of paprika or red pepper flakes if you enjoy some heat.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stove or microwave.
