By definition, a chowder is a thick, chunky soup that is either cream or tomato based. This particular recipe uses a tomato base, along with a few Southwestern flavor infusions.

When I hear the word “chowder,” two things come to mind: creamy New England style chowder or tomato-based Manhattan style chowder. This Slow Cooker Chicken and Black Bean Chowder recipe is neither. Instead, it’s a new twist on a traditional recipe. Kick up the flavor in your chowder and give this recipe a try!
To begin our chowder transformation, we started with chicken breast, black beans, and corn kernels. Next, we added in some salsa and diced chilies to give our dish a kick of Latin flavors. It’s important to let those flavors meld and simmer for several hours in a slow cooker along with some chicken broth. In the end, the chicken will be rich with Latin spices, and it should shred easily with a fork.
Once the chicken has been shredded and returned to the slow cooker to simmer briefly, it’s almost ready to serve. You can make this chowder extra-special by topping it with creamy Greek yogurt, avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.
So, there you have it. You’ve taken all of the elements that make a chowder wonderful and have elevated them to create something fun and exciting. A tasty Slow Cooker Chicken and Black Bean Chowder is served. Is your mouth watering yet? I know mine is; I can smell the Southwestern goodness!
Finally, I only have one question left to ask: What time is dinner?
