Instructions
Creating Slow Cooker Street Corn Chicken is effortless with these simple steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
2. Add Corn: Pour the frozen or fresh corn over the chicken, ensuring it covers the meat evenly.
3. Cream Cheese Layer: Cut the softened cream cheese into chunks and scatter them on top of the corn.
4. Season: Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the top, ensuring all the ingredients are well coated.
5. Bell Pepper: If using, add the diced red bell pepper for an extra layer of flavor and color.
6. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours.
7. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the other ingredients.
8. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and combines with the mixture.
9. Garnish: Squeeze the lime juice over the top and sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.
10. Serve: Enjoy your meal as is, or use it as a filling in tacos, burritos, or over rice.
