Crock Pot Chicken Corn Chowder Recipe
Description
The Crock Pot Chicken Corn Chowder is prepared by combining chicken breasts, cooked bacon pieces, frozen corn, onions, potatoes, red bell pepper, jalapeño, garlic, and seasonings including paprika, cayenne, salt, and bay leaves in a slow cooker. Chicken broth is added, and the mixture cooks on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken becomes easily shredded.
After removing and shredding the chicken and discarding bay leaves, a mixture of heavy cream and cornstarch is whisked in to thicken the chowder. A final slow cook on low or high finishes the chowder, producing a thick, creamy consistency while the vegetables remain tender but intact, imparting savory and slightly spicy flavors complemented by the smoky bacon.
This chowder suits cooler weather meals and is customizable with toppings as desired. The rich base and textured components of corn and potatoes provide a satisfying one-pot meal that can be served as a main dish.
Leftover chowder can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to five days, making it practical for meal planning and easy reheating.
