Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

4 cups frozen corn kernels (or fresh corn, if in season)

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium potatoes, diced (about 2 cups)

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: Begin by placing the boneless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Layer the frozen or freshly cut corn kernels over the chicken, followed by the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced potatoes. Ensure an even distribution for optimal flavor.

    Season It Up: Generously sprinkle the paprika, dried thyme, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper over the layered ingredients in the slow cooker. Carefully pour the chicken broth over everything, ensuring that all ingredients are submerged for even cooking.

      Slow Cook: Securely cover your slow cooker with its lid. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is cooked through when it is tender enough to easily shred with a fork.

        Shred the Chicken: Once the cooking time is complete, use tongs to carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker. Place them on a cutting board, then shred the chicken using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the chowder in the slow cooker, stirring well to combine.

          Add Creaminess: Pour in the heavy cream and gently stir to incorporate. Allow the chowder to cook on low for an additional 30 minutes, which will help thicken the stew and enrich the flavor.

            Finish Off: Just before serving, add the tablespoon of butter into the chowder and stir until it melts completely. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

              Serve: Ladle the hearty chowder into individual bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately to enjoy the rich and comforting flavors!
