PrintThis Slow Cooker Chicken and Sweet Potato Chowder is creamy, cozy, and packed with flavor. Made with simple ingredients like chicken, sweet potatoes, and corn, it’s a nourishing bowl of comfort that’s perfect for chilly days.
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 small onion, diced
2 stalks celery, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1.5 cups corn (frozen or canned, drained)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for dairy-free)
Add onion, celery, garlic, sweet potatoes, and corn to the slow cooker.
Place chicken breasts on top and season with thyme, salt, pepper, and add bay leaf.
Pour in chicken broth to cover ingredients.
Cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours.
Remove chicken, shred, and return to slow cooker.
Discard bay leaf. Stir in cream and cook for another 20–30 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot.
Add spinach or kale in the last 10 minutes for color.
For thicker chowder, mash a few sweet potatoes before serving.
Keeps well in the fridge for 3–4 days; freeze without cream for up to 3 months.
