    Because homemade is so much better than canned! And this simple Slow Cooker Chicken Corn Chowder is so easy, it's barely any more work! Packed with sweet corn and real cream, try this satisfying soup today!Slow Cooker Chicken Corn Chowder in a black bowl with a black spoon topped with bacon.

    I'm pretty sure I made my favorite Corn and Potato Chowder recipe about 17,000 times last winter and never once got tired of it or wished I had something different.

    However, after having people ask me several times for a version with meat, I decided to try something new after all! I switched up my old recipe a bit, left out the potatoes, added some chicken and made a few minor adjustments.

    This version is creamy, tasty and even more hearty with the addition of chicken! Easy to make in your slow cooker for a great family dinner.

    Ingredient Notes:

    • use a high quality frozen corn for best results since corn is a bit of a star here
    • feel free to use chicken breasts or thighs, whatever you have on hand
    • cream is also known as heavy whipping cream

    Optional but delicious? Top servings with cooked and crumbled bacon.

    How to Make Chicken Corn Chowder in the Slow Cooker:

    • Add all ingredients except the broth to your slow cooker
    • Toss well to coat everything in a thin layer of flour
    • Slowly pour in the broth while mixing to prevent clumps
    • Let simmer and thicken all day

    Try this try simple trick, it makes the Chicken Corn Chowder out of this world!

    • Simply melt a little butter and brown the chicken before adding to your slow cooker.
    • Even though you are going to shred it later, it gives the chicken great flavor and texture that makes the soup that much better.
    • Want to make this step super easy with no extra clean-up? Use a multi-cooker that lets you brown the meat right in the slow cooker!

      This is one of my family’s favorites! And the red lobster biscuits are an amazing compliment to this meal. However, I ran out of time today for the sow cooker, and was wondering if you could tell me how to make it in the instant pot pressure cooker instead?

      Hi Jennifer, I just came across your site and notice that you have a lot of Soups, etc. in your Slow Cooker Recipes. I have an Instant Pot and was wondering if they can be cooked quicker on the Pressure Cooker mode instead of several hours on Slow Cooker mode??
      Your recipes looks delicious and I would think most people would prefer to use the Pressure mode instead of the Slow Cooker mode if they have an Instant Pot as it would be quicker.
      I look forward to your reply . . . thanks for sharing your delicious recipes.

        Yes! We are in the process of re-testing as many of my recipes as possible to provide Instant Pot instructions as well. But in the meantime feel free to ask questions about specific recipes and I might be able to help!

      Made this and it was delicious! My boyfriend and I devoured it in one night. Anyway you could give me a suggestion of how to double it so it comes out just as good but isn’t thin

        So glad you loved it! If you are doubling and want it thicker, I'd cut the broth back to 6 cups total and then thicken with 2 tablespoons cornstarch whisked with 2 tablespoons water into the slow cooker when you start cooking. You could probably go up to 1/4 cup cornstarch depending on what consistency you prefer.

      Easy and tasty. I use flour to thicken and some corn starch to make it extra thick. Browning the chicken first is key to getting good flavor. After making it the first time, I added chopped golden potatoes and that made it even better. My boyfriend frequently requests this dish.

      I love this recipe and make it often. I’m wondering if you thought it would be okay to add some potatoes in as well. What do you think?

        Yes, potatoes would be a delicious addition!

      This is a very average recipe. It is perfectly acceptable if you don'r have a really good recipe for Chicken and Corn Chowder. It's a bit too thin, even though the chicken is sprinkled with flour.

      This looks amazing! Any recommendations on how to make the chowder gluten free? Would rice flower be a good substitute?

        I haven't tried it with rice flour, but I know cornstarch would work!

      Hi, I stumbled across this site when searching for slow cooker soup recipies. Just made the Chicken and Corn soup and it's absolutely delicious!! I've made this as instructed but think you could probably omit the cream if after a healthier version. Thank you, another favourite for our family!

        Thanks Abby! Glad you loved it! And you could for sure omit the cream or maybe use something else instead to make a lighter meal.
