This cozy chowder is one of my favorite slow cooker meals—especially when we’re craving something hearty, creamy, and packed with flavor. Inspired by Mexican street corn, this recipe adds a little twist to classic chicken chowder. It’s naturally gluten-free, full of protein, and makes a generous batch perfect for dinner and leftovers.
Why You'll Love This Chowder
If you’re like me and always looking for set-it-and-forget-it meals, this one is a keeper. Toss the ingredients in the slow cooker, let it do its thing, then stir in the cream cheese at the end for that dreamy, rich finish. It’s got sweet corn, tender shredded chicken, creamy white beans, and just the right hint of spice. We top ours with fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of cheese or cilantro when we have it.
Celiac-Safe and High Protein
This chowder is 100% Celiac-safe and absolutely loaded with protein—over 40 grams per serving! We use:
Frozen sweet corn for sweetness and texture
Boneless skinless chicken breasts for lean, high-protein richness
Cannellini beans for creaminess and added fiber
Gluten-free chicken broth to keep it safe
Cream cheese for velvety richness
All the flavor without a gluten-filled thickener in sight.
How to Serve It
Ladle it into bowls and top with whatever you like—crumbled tortilla chips, shredded cheese, diced avocado, chopped green onions, or just a splash more lime. It’s a full meal on its own, but you can also pair it with a gluten-free cornbread muffin or salad for a bigger spread.
