❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Creamy Crock Pot Chicken Corn Chowder

1. Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen chicken breasts. Just add them directly to the slow cooker and increase the cook time by about an hour on low. Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before shredding.

2. How do I make this chowder dairy free?

To make it dairy free, substitute the heavy cream with full fat canned coconut milk. The chowder will still be creamy and delicious. You can also use a dairy free milk alternative like oat milk, but the texture will be thinner.

3. Can I add other vegetables?

Absolutely. Diced carrots or celery are great additions. Add them along with the potatoes and onions at the beginning. You can also stir in some chopped spinach or kale during the last 10 minutes of cooking for extra nutrients.

4. How should I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The chowder will thicken as it sits. Reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or milk to thin it out if needed.

5. Can I freeze this chowder?

Yes, this chowder freezes well. Let it cool completely, then transfer it to a freezer safe container. It will keep for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stovetop.
