🕒 Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 5 hrs | Total Time: 5 hrs 10 min
🛒 Ingredients:
- 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for a juicier version)
- 2 cups frozen corn (canned or grilled corn also works)
- 4 oz cream cheese, cubed
- 1/3 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta as a swap)
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
Optional Flavor Boosters:
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1:
Add chicken breasts to the bottom of your slow cooker. Top with corn, cream cheese, cotija, lime juice, garlic, and chili powder. ✨
🚫 Don’t stir — the cheese will melt perfectly on its own!
Step 2:
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is tender and shreds easily.
Step 3:
Shred chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Stir everything together to create a creamy, cheesy, corn-filled mix. Add a splash of chicken broth or milk if you want it thinner.
Step 4:
Serve your Street Corn Chicken in tacos 🌮, over rice, or even nacho-style with extra cheese and hot sauce. Don’t forget fresh cilantro and lime wedges!

💡 Pro Tips:
- Make it spicy: Add chipotle powder or jalapeños for a heat boost.
- Freezer-friendly: Cools well and freezes up to 3 months!
- Dairy-free version: Use plant-based cream cheese and skip cotija or swap with nutritional yeast.
