Step-by-Step Instructions for Slow Cooker Street Corn Chicken
  1. Begin by placing 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Ensure the pieces lay flat for even cooking.
  2. Sprinkle a generous amount of garlic powder, salt, cumin, and chili powder evenly over the chicken breasts.
  3. Evenly distribute 5 cups of frozen sweet corn over the seasoned chicken.
  4. Cut 4 ounces of cream cheese into small chunks and scatter them over the corn layer.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and set to cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  6. Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the chicken breasts and shred into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Stir in ½ cup of sour cream and ¼ cup of mayonnaise until fully combined.
  8. Sprinkle chopped cilantro and crumbled queso fresco over the top before serving.
