Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

4 cups frozen sweet corn (about 2-3 bags)

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

2 carrots, diced

3 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon black pepper

Salt to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Optional: crumbled bacon (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and sear the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: In a slow cooker, add the diced onion, garlic, potatoes, carrots, and frozen corn. Place the seared chicken breasts on top. Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream (or coconut milk), smoked paprika, dried thyme, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the chicken is submerged in the liquid.

      Cook Slow: Set your slow cooker to low and cook for 6-8 hours or on high for about 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

        Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, use a fork to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir the mixture to incorporate the shredded chicken evenly throughout.

          Final Touches: Taste the chowder and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Let it cook for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.

            Serve: Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions, parsley, and crumbled bacon if desired. Enjoy your warm and comforting meal!
