SLOW COOKER CORN CHOWDER WITH CHICKEN
A hearty and delicious Slow Cooker Corn Chowder with Chicken and Bacon is an easy and healthy dinner recipe to warm you from the inside out!
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon chopped
- 1 ½ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
- ½ cup diced celery
- ½ cup diced carrots
- 1 russet potato peeled and cubed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 (14.75 oz) can cream-style corn
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside to use later as a garnish. Reserve bacon drippings in the skillet.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Add chicken breasts to the bacon drippings in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, just until browned on both sides (about 3 minutes per side). The chicken does not need to be completely cooked through – it just needs to be browned on each side for flavor, since it will continue cooking in the slow cooker.
- Meanwhile, place onions, corn, celery, carrots, potatoes and thyme in a slow cooker. Add browned chicken to the slow cooker. Pour chicken broth over top, cover, and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or on LOW for about 6-7 hours.
