Equipment

  • 1 6-7 Quart Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 1.25-1.5 Skinless and Boneless Chicken Breast
  • 1 Medium Onion Chopped
  • 2 Canned Diced Green Chiles
  • 2 Canned Great northern beans or Cannellini Beans Rinsed and Drained
  • 1 Canned Corn Drained
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 Teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 4 Cups 32 Ounces Chicken Bone Broth
  • 1 Lime Juiced
  • ½ Block Low-fat Philadelphia Cream Cheese optional

Optional To Garnish:

  • Fresh Cilantro
  • Diced Jalapeños
  • Avocado Sliced
  • Low-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding your chicken breast to the bottom of the crockpot followed by your chopped onions, canned diced green chiles, rinsed and drained canned great northern beans or cannellini beans, can of drained corn, seasonings and then your chicken bone broth.
  • Cook on high for 3-4 hours or for low 6-8 hours.
  • Once your chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 F and your onions are cooked through, remove the chicken, shred it and then add it back into the crockpot. Stir and then add in your lime juice, cream cheese (if using).
  • Serve your soup with the suggested toppings (fresh cilantro, diced jalapenos, sliced avocado and low-fat plain greek yogurt.
  • Hint: If your crockpot tends to cook hot and you're cooking this dish on high, I would recommend sautéing the onions in some avocado oil on a medium pan heat on medium high heat for 1-2 minutes or until they become translucent so that they are able to soften enough in the crockpot without overcooking the chicken!
