Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold or russet)

1 red bell pepper, diced

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free option)

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp salt (or to taste)

¼ tsp black pepper

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by dicing the onion, garlic, potatoes, and red bell pepper. If you are using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cobs.

    Layer the Ingredients in the Crockpot: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot. Layer on the corn, diced potatoes, onion, garlic, and red bell pepper.

      Add the Broth and Spices: Pour in the chicken broth, and then sprinkle with thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine and ensure that the spices are evenly distributed.

        Cook on Low: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

          Shred the Chicken: Once the cooking time has elapsed, remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the pot.

            Stir in the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream (or coconut cream) and stir until well combined. Allow the chowder to cook on low for an additional 30 minutes to thicken.

              Serve and Garnish: Ladle the chowder into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh parsley for a delightful presentation.

                Enjoy: Serve with crusty bread or crackers on the side for dipping and enjoy your hearty crockpot chicken corn chowder!
