This Slow Cooker Chicken and Corn Chowder is comfort food at its best. It's heartwarming, savory, and good to the last spoonful! | Flavor Walk

Fall brings out my desire to dust off my slow cooker and put it to good use.  I'd picked up a copy of Cuisine Slow Cooker Menus, and from that came the inspiration to make this Slow Cooker Chicken and Corn Chowder.

The wonderful aroma that fills the air while this chowder is cooking is mouthwatering.  And the taste of the slow cooked chicken is comforting.

Jim and I prefer the flavor of dark meat over white meat, so I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs.  I also used gluten-free flour to coat the thighs before browning them in melted butter.

Prior to the invention of slow cooker liners, I rarely used my slow cooker.  I loved the flavors brought out by slow cooking and the ease of starting the process in the morning and  coming home from work to find dinner ready and waiting, but the clean-up was a beast.

I remember having to soak the crock overnight to make scrubbing off the baked-on food possible.  But now with these liners, clean-up is a breeze.

After adding the potatoes, veggies, and thyme to the slow cooker, place the browned chicken on top and pour the cream, chicken broth and cream-style corn over everything.  Place the lid on the slow cooker, start it up, and get on with the rest of your day.

Once the chowder is finished cooking, I take the chicken out and place it on a cutting board.  I use a couple of forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces, then add it back to the chowder and stir until well-combined.
