Easy Crock Pot Chicken with Creamy Corn (WW Friendly)

Comfort food doesn’t have to be complicated. This Crock Pot Chicken with Creamy Corn has quickly become a favorite in our house — especially with Rod, who was born and raised in the Midwest and loves simple, hearty meals. With just a handful of ingredients, this dish delivers everything I want in an easy, WW-friendly slow cooker dinner: minimal prep, maximum comfort, and a flavor that keeps us coming back for more.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Simple ingredients – just chicken, corn, and a few pantry staples.
• WW-friendly – lightened up without cream cheese or heavy add-ins.
• Comfort food made easy – cozy, creamy, and satisfying.
• Versatile – serve as whole chicken thighs with sauce or shred and mix for a hearty stew.

Ingredients

• Boneless, skinless chicken thighs – I used 4, about 5 ounces each. Boneless breasts could also work, but thighs stay juicier in the slow cooker.
• Corn – canned, well-drained. Frozen corn works too.
• Creamed corn – adds creaminess without heavy cream cheese.
• Quick tapioca – helps thicken the sauce as it cooks.
• Seasonings – I used Montreal Chicken seasoning and a pinch of dried basil, but any favorite seasoning blend will work.
• Fresh basil – optional, but brightens everything up at the end.

Substitutions & Variations

• Make it creamier – Stir in a spoonful of reduced-fat cream cheese before serving.
• Try different herbs – swap basil for thyme, rosemary, or parsley.
• Add veggies – toss in chopped bell peppers or zucchini to bulk it up.
• Switch up the protein – boneless pork chops or turkey cutlets would also work.

How to Make this WW Friendly Chicken with Creamy Corn Step by Step

Step 1: Prepare the slow cooker

Grease a 2- to 3-quart slow cooker (affiliate link).

Step 2: Mix the base

Stir together the corn, creamed corn, tapioca, and dried basil (if using). Pour into the slow cooker.

Step 3: Season the chicken

Season the chicken thighs generously with Montreal Chicken seasoning (or salt and pepper).

Step 4: Add the chicken

Nestle the chicken thighs on top of the corn mixture.

Step 5: Cook low and slow

Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 6: Finish and serve

Remove the chicken. Stir the corn mixture well, adjust seasoning, and add fresh basil if desired. Serve the chicken with the creamy corn sauce — or shred the chicken and stir it into the corn mixture for a cozy, stew-like dish.

Recipe Notes

• Using boneless, skinless chicken thighs keeps the meat tender and juicy.
• Tapioca is a simple thickener, but if you don’t have any, you can swap in cornstarch slurry (added at the end).
• This is a naturally gluten-free recipe (just be sure your seasonings are GF).

Serving Suggestions

This dish is pure comfort food on its own, but here are some simple pairings:

• Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or quinoa to soak up the creamy corn sauce.
• Pair with a side of roasted green beans or a crisp garden salad for balance.

Ways to Use Leftovers

• Shred leftover chicken into the corn mixture for a thick stew — perfect for reheating.
• Spoon leftovers over baked potatoes for a quick second meal.
• Use inside a wrap or quesadilla with a sprinkle of cheese for a fresh twist.
