I cooked everything on top of the stove and the chicken came out very tender and delicious. I used 5 good size potatoes, and thickened the broth, because we like it on the thicker side. I served ours in homemade whole wheat bread bowls to everyones delight!

This was a wonderful chowder. The flavor was very good. Easy to put together, I followed the directions to a tee except for using a bag of frozen corn over the canned. I think I used around a half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter of pepper for seasoning. I used homemade chicken stock which was awesome. I think I might add a little flour to thicken it some next time, an easy thing to change to my preference. I was thrilled come dinner time to only have to toss some bread in the oven and serve up the bowls of soup. Nice. Made for Crock Pot Photo Challenge.

Delicious! we love it! I did make a few changes. I used three chicken breasts instead of the tenders. I added a can of cream style corn, as well as extra chicken broth, also used a little flour to thicken the broth and did not add cheese....I cooked it for around 8 hours in the crockpot and the chicken was so tender...seasoned with salt, pepper and a little thyme. Thanks for sharing. I will make this again.

I've made this several times now , but forgot to review. We really like it, but I did make several changes. Since the chicken sits on top of the vegetables in the crock pot, it wasn't covered by the broth. I was afraid that it might be dry, so I added an extra can of broth. It definitely was not a thick chowder, but we liked it that way. Also used a bag of frozen corn instead of canned. DH loves this for lunch.

I've made a much more complicated and labor intensive corn showder before, but never again. The minor adjustments I made to this recipe were:<br/>1. frozen corn instead of canned (which has less sodium, so I ended up adding some salt toward the end of the cooking time)<br/>2. I added more celery & carrots than it called for <br/>3. Due to the extra veggies, the one can of stock didn't cover the food in the crock pot. I didn't have any more at home, so I added about a half cup of water.<br/>4. Based on other reviews, I thickened the chowder. I didn't have corn starch at home, so I used flour & water, added toward the end of cooking time.<br/><br/>I'll definitely make this again.
