Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

4 cups frozen sweet corn

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

    Combine Ingredients in the Crockpot: Transfer the cooked onions and garlic to the crockpot. Add the chicken breasts, frozen corn, diced potatoes, chicken broth, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.

      Cook on Low: Cover the crockpot and set it to low heat. Let it cook for 6-7 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

        Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot. Shred the chicken using two forks and return it to the pot.

          Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese (if using). Allow the chowder to warm through for about 10-15 minutes on the low setting.

            Taste and Adjust: Taste the chowder and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or even a splash of hot sauce for a kick.

              Serve: Ladle the creamy chowder into bowls and garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired.
