Peel and dice the potatoes and carrots into bite-sized pieces. Chop the celery and onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot.
Add the diced potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, minced garlic, and corn kernels on top of the chicken.
Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle in the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Once the cooking time is up, remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to form a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes until light golden brown. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until smooth and thickened.
Stir the cream mixture into the chowder in the crock pot and mix well.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Sprinkle the chowder with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
