When it is chilly out I love a nice bowl of chowder to warm me up. Years ago my husband and I would go to Chili's all the time and get corn chowder. It was my absolute favorite but they quit offering it and then we quit going.
Now, this isn't a copycat of there corn chowder because, to be honest, it is better! Yes, the BBQ chicken inside it gives it extra flavor topped with green onions, bacon, or chives is just outright EPIC!
We served it with fresh bread or biscuits and a garden salad for a complete meal.
I make this recipe using canned or frozen corn for the sake of simplicity, if you happen to have fresh corn, by all means, cut it off the cobb and use that!!
What size slow cooker should I use for making this?
This creamy corn chowder recipe actually makes a HUGE batch in the slow cooker, so you want to be sure to at least use a 6 qt slow cooker.
Can I make this vegetarian?
Absolutely! Sub in vegetable broth for chicken broth, your favorite meatless protein for chicken, and top with toasted nuts or sautéed mushrooms in lieu of bacon.
How long do leftovers last?
Leftovers should last up to 4 days in the refrigerator, or up to 3 months in the freezer. Be sure to let your leftovers cool completely before transferring to an airtight container.

YUM! This looks like the perfect fall crockpot recipe for my family. I have made chicken corn chowder plenty of times, but never tried it with BBQ chicken. I'll be trying this recipe!
