Step By Step How to Prepare Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder Recipe

Let us take this journey together. First, add all the ingredients—except for the heavy whipping cream and cheese to a 6-quart crock pot. As you stir to combine them, notice how they come together, just like friendships blossoming over time.

Next, set your slow cooker on low and let it cradle your chowder for 6 to 8 hours, or, if you’re in a slight hurry, high for 3 to 4 hours. During this time, the aromas will begin to dance through your home, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere.

Once the cooking time is complete, gently remove the chicken and shred it with care. Return this tender chicken back to your crock pot, like a family member coming home to a warm embrace. Then, pour in the heavy cream and the shredded Monterey jack cheese, stirring lovingly to combine.

Cover the slow cooker and allow it to cook on high for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese melts into a creamy, beautiful blend.

Finally, serve your chowder with your favorite toppings and take a moment to relish the beauty of your creation. Enjoy every nourishing bite!

How to Serve Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder Recipe with Intention

When it’s time to serve, present your chowder with care. Ladle it into cozy bowls, perhaps adding a sprinkle of cilantro or a dollop of sour cream to elevate the experience. As you share it with loved ones, take a moment to express gratitude for the nourishment and connection that this meal brings.

How to Store Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder Recipe the Right Way

If you find yourself with leftovers (a precious gift!), allow the chowder to cool before storing it in an airtight container. It will keep well in the refrigerator for about three to four days. You may also freeze some for future enjoyment; just make sure to leave some space in your container, as it may expand when it freezes.

Mama Lila’s Helpful Tips

1. Balance is Key: Feel free to adjust the spices to suit your taste. A pinch more salt or a dash of extra pepper can create a flavor that sings to your heart.
2. Creaminess Adjustments: For a lighter version, you can replace some of the heavy cream with milk while still keeping it comforting.
3. Savor the Journey: Take your time while cooking. Cooking is not just about the meal; it’s about the experience and the love poured into it.

Peaceful Variations to Explore

• Try adding black beans for a heartier touch, allowing them to soak in all the flavors.
