Ingredients
  

5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves of garlic, minced

3 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup frozen sweet corn

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sear the Chicken: Begin by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the boneless chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Once the oil is shimmering, sear the chicken for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden brown crust forms. After searing, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to cool slightly.

    Layer the Ingredients: In the bowl of your slow cooker, add the cubed potatoes, diced onion, minced garlic, frozen corn, dried thyme, smoked paprika, and pour in the chicken broth. Give everything a good stir to ensure that all ingredients are well mixed and coated in the broth.

      Incorporate the Chicken: Place the seared chicken breasts on top of the vegetable mixture without stirring, allowing the flavors to meld during cooking.

        Cooking Time: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.

          Shred the Chicken: Using two forks, carefully remove the cooked chicken breasts from the slow cooker. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the slow cooker to mix it back in with the other ingredients.

            Add Creaminess: Pour the heavy cream into the slow cooker, stirring well to incorporate it into the soup. Check the seasoning, adding extra salt and pepper if desired. Allow the soup to heat through on low for an additional 15-30 minutes to meld all the flavors.

              Serve and Garnish: Once everything is warmed and well combined, ladle the creamy soup into bowls. Top each serving with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Enjoy your delicious, hearty creation!
