Instructions:

4. Cook:
- Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
5. Shred the Chicken:
- Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred the meat directly in the crockpot.
6. Add Lime and Cheddar Cheese:

Tips:

- For an even richer flavor, you can sear the chicken thighs in a pan before adding them to the crockpot.

- If you prefer a thicker chowder, consider adding a small amount of cornstarch mixed with water towards the end of cooking.

- Make sure to stir the cream cheese and cheddar cheese in well to ensure they are fully melted and integrated into the chowder.

- For extra spice, you can add more jalapeno or even a dash of hot sauce.

- Serve the chowder with crusty bread or tortilla chips to add a pleasant crunch.
