Ingredients

For the Chicken

2 pounds Boneless Chicken Breasts/Thighs Thighs for richer flavor or breasts for a leaner option.

For the Creamy Mixture

2 cups Corn Fresh grilled corn offers a gourmet touch, but frozen or canned work perfectly.
8 ounces Cream Cheese Provides a luscious creaminess; can swap for vegan cream cheese.
1 cup Cotija Cheese Adds a salty, tangy kick; substitute with feta if unavailable.
2 tablespoons Lime Juice Freshly squeezed for the best flavor.
3 cloves Garlic Fresh enhances the savory depth; jarred minced is a quick alternative.

For Seasoning

1 teaspoon Chili Powder Infuses warmth; substitute with chipotle for smokiness.
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Gives a rich, smoky depth.
1 teaspoon Onion Powder Amplifies the flavor profile.

For Garnish

1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro Adds freshness.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Slow Cooker Street Corn Chicken

Layer the boneless chicken breasts or thighs at the bottom of your slow cooker.
Distribute the corn, cream cheese, cotija cheese, lime juice, minced garlic, and chili powder over the chicken without stirring.
Cover the slow cooker and set to LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours.
Once cooking time is complete, shred the chicken directly in the pot using two forks.
If the sauce is too thick, stir in a splash of chicken broth or milk to reach desired consistency.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro.
