You can totally make this in the crockpot or slow cooker! Just add everything and cook on low 6-7 hours or high 3-4 hours. I've even cooked the chicken (just place in raw) in the crockpot with the broth + spices + onion + bell pepper + corn, then added the remaining ingredients in about 30-60 minutes prior to serving.
