Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 6-quart Crockpot
  • Mixing spoon
  • Forks

Method
 

  1. Place all the ingredients in a 6-quart crockpot and stir to combine.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  3. Shred the chicken using two forks, then stir it back into the crockpot.
  4. Serve hot, over rice, with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, avocado, and fresh cilantro.

Notes

For best results, use a blend of chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika to create a complex and comforting flavor profile. The sweet spot for cooking chicken thighs is 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high, ensuring the meat remains moist and tender.
