Equipment

  • 6-7 Quart Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 1.25-1.5 Pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 1 Large Onion Chopped
  • 1 Packet of Taco Seasoning
  • 1 Can of Corn Drained
  • 1 Can of Black Beans Rinsed and Drained
  • 1 Can of Tomato Sauce
  • 1 Can of Rotel optional but highly recommended
  • 4 Cups Chicken Bone Broth or chicken broth

Serve with (Suggested):

  • Shredded Mexican Cheese
  • Plain Low Fat Greet Yogurt
  • Organic Corn Chip Dippers: I used the Trader Joe's Dippers
  • Fresh Cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Add to crock pot: Place your uncooked chicken breast (or thighs) at the bottom of the crock pot. Layer on your chopped onion, taco seasoning, corn, black beans, tomato sauce, Rotel, and bone broth or low-sodium chicken broth.
  • Cook: Cover and cook on low 5–6 hours or high 3–4 hours.
  • Shred: Once your chicken reaches 165°F, remove it to a cutting board, shred with two forks, and stir it back into the soup broth. Now you have perfectly shredded chicken in a rich and hearty soup!
  • Serve: Spoon into a soup bowl and top with cheese, sour cream or greek yogurt, tortilla strips, and fresh cilantro.
  • Hint: If your crockpot runs hot, sauté the onions and green bell pepper first in olive oil over medium-high heat (1–2 minutes) until translucent. This extra step ensures they soften beautifully without overcooking the chicken.
