Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the boneless chicken breasts or thighs evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Carefully pour the corn on top of the chicken, followed by dollops of cream cheese and crumbled cotija cheese. Then, drizzle the fresh lime juice over everything.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sprinkle chili powder next. It's important to layer these ingredients without stirring.
  4. Season with smoked paprika and onion powder. Ensure all ingredients are spread evenly.
  5. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and select the LOW setting to cook for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours.
  6. Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the lid and use two forks to shred the chicken right in the pot.
  7. Spoon the creamy Street Corn Chicken into bowls for serving and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top.
  8. Gather your loved ones around the table to enjoy this comforting meal.
