Follow these straightforward steps to create your own Slow Cooker Chicken and Sweet Potato Chowder:

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Start by greasing the inside of your slow cooker with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray.
2. Add Ingredients: Place the diced sweet potatoes on the bottom of the slow cooker. Layer the chopped onion and minced garlic on top of the sweet potatoes.
3. Add Chicken: Lay the chicken thighs or breasts over the veggies, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
4. Pour Broth: Carefully pour the chicken broth over the entire mixture.
5. Season: Sprinkle smoked paprika, dried thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper across the top. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
6. Add Frozen Corn: Toss the frozen corn into the slow cooker, making sure it’s well incorporated.
7. Set the Cooker: Cover your slow cooker and set it to low for 6 to 8 hours or high for about 3 to 4 hours.
8. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred it with two forks before returning it to the chowder.
9. Add Coconut Milk: Stir in the coconut milk (or cream) for a rich, creamy texture.
10. Final Touch: Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed before serving.
