How to CrockPot Street Corn Chicken Step-by-Step
- I started by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces so it would cook evenly and absorb more flavor.
- Then, I added the chicken to the slow cooker along with the corn, sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, and cumin, stirring everything together until well combined.
- I covered the slow cooker and let it cook on high for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or on low for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the chicken was fully cooked and tender.
- Once everything was ready, I placed the cream cheese on top, covered it again, and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes so it softened completely.
- After that, I stirred the melted cream cheese into the mixture, watching it turn creamy and rich right before my eyes.
- Finally, I topped it with crumbled queso fresco and fresh cilantro, and sometimes added a sprinkle of Tajín for a little extra zest before serving.
