Crockpot Chicken Chowder

This recipe is Mike's favorite crockpot meal. I got it from the web a while back - from Linda Larsen. I love to use the crockpot; it gets all the dinner prep overwith in the morning so you can enjoy your day without "What do I get for dinner?" hanging over your head, and it smells wonderful!

1/2 cup chopped carrots

1 cup skimmed milk

1 cup chicken broth

1/8 tsp. white pepper

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 potato, peeled and cubed

1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces

2 (15 oz.) cans creamed corn (I can't get this in the UK (grrrr), so I use a can of cream of chicken soup and two cans regular corn)

1/2 cup dried potato flakes (I don't do this, but I use some chicken Bisto - a very popular thickener/seasoner in the UK)


Combine all ingredients (except potato flakes) in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 5 - 6 hours or until potatoes are tender and chicken thoroughly cooked. Add potato flakes and stir well to combine. Salt (or not) to taste.

YUMMY, and even better the next day.
