For the Chicken

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by placing your boneless chicken breasts or thighs evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Next, layer the corn over the chicken, followed by the softened cream cheese and crumbled cotija cheese.
  3. Drizzle fresh lime juice, and sprinkle minced garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder on top.
  4. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours.
  5. Once cooked, remove the lid and use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the pot.
  6. If you prefer a creamier sauce, consider adding a bit of chicken broth to achieve your desired consistency.
  7. Finally, serve your Slow Cooker Street Corn Chicken warm, garnished with fresh cilantro.
