Creating Slow Cooker Street Corn Chicken is straightforward and enjoyable. Here’s how to do it:
1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the bottom of the slow cooker with non-stick spray or a little olive oil.
2. Add Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker.
3. Mix the Corn and Seasoning: In a mixing bowl, combine the frozen corn, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
4. Layer the Ingredients: Pour the corn mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker, spreading it evenly.
5. Cream Cheese: Take the cream cheese and place it directly on top of the corn and chicken.
6. Add Chicken Broth: Pour the chicken broth around the edges of the slow cooker, trying not to disturb the layers.
7. Cover and Cook: Close the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
8. Add Cheese: About 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle shredded cheese on top and cover until melted.
9. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks and mix everything together until well combined.
10. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
