Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen corn
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Seasonings

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or whole milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Dice the Yukon Gold potatoes and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves carefully to release their flavors.
  2. Layer in Crockpot: Place the diced chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot. Then add the potatoes, onion, corn, and minced garlic layered on top of the chicken.
  3. Add Liquids: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth until all the ingredients are submerged. Add the heavy cream or whole milk for creaminess to the mixture.
  4. Season: Season the mixture gently with salt and pepper to your taste, and stir carefully to evenly combine the ingredients without disrupting the layering too much.
  5. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours. Cook until the chicken is thoroughly tender.
  6. Finish and Serve: Before serving, shred the cooked chicken inside the crockpot using two forks. Stir well to combine all ingredients uniformly. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added color and flavor.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to control the salt content better.
  • Heavy cream can be substituted with whole milk for a lighter chowder.
  • Fresh corn gives the best flavor but frozen corn works well too.
  • For thicker chowder, mash some of the potatoes before serving.
  • Garnishing with fresh herbs enhances freshness and presentation.
