Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Boneless Chicken Breasts Substitutions for thighs offer extra moisture.
For the Corn Mixture
  • 2 cups Frozen Corn Fire-roasted corn for a smoky twist recommended.
  • 1 tablespoon Chili Powder Adjust quantity according to heat preference.
For the Creamy Sauce
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Low-fat cream cheese can be a lighter substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin Coriander can be a mild alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice Fresh lime juice preferred, bottled can work.
For Serving
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro Omit for non-cilantro lovers.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese Queso fresco is ideal.
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream Greek yogurt can serve as a healthier option.

Equipment

  • slow cooker

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by spraying your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Place the boneless chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the frozen corn, chili powder, cumin, and fresh lime juice. Toss to coat the corn evenly.
  4. Pour the corn mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  5. Top the mixture with blocks of cream cheese.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low. Cook for about 6 hours, until the chicken is tender and shreds easily.
  7. Once cooked, shred the chicken in the pot and mix with the creamy corn mixture. Serve hot with cilantro, shredded cheese, and sour cream.
