Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
- 1 cup diced potatoes
- 1 cup diced onions
Liquids and Seasonings
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Garnish
- Chopped green onions or parsley
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Wash and chop your vegetables first, including potatoes and onions, to save cooking time and ensure even cooking. Use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken shredded into bite-sized pieces.
- Layer in Crockpot: Place diced potatoes and onions at the bottom of the crockpot to help them cook evenly. Add shredded chicken and drained corn on top.
- Season and Add Liquids: Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the ingredients. Pour the chicken broth and heavy cream over everything to create a creamy base.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. This slow cooking melds the flavors and tenderizes the potatoes perfectly.
- Check Doneness and Adjust Consistency: After cooking, check that potatoes are tender by piercing with a fork. For a thicker chowder, mash some potatoes directly in the pot.
- Serve: Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired. Enjoy warm for a hearty meal.
Notes
- Using shredded rotisserie chicken reduces prep time.
- For thicker chowder, mash some potatoes after cooking.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to your taste at the end.
- Heavy cream adds richness; substitute with half-and-half for a lighter option.
- Stir occasionally during cooking if possible to mix flavors evenly.
