Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) corn kernels, drained

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups chicken broth

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lime

Optional garnishes: diced avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, tortilla strips

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by dicing the onion and mincing the garlic. Rinse and drain the black beans and corn.

    Layer in the Slow Cooker: In a slow cooker, layer the boneless chicken breasts at the bottom. Pour in the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes (with their juices), onion, and garlic.

      Season the Soup: Add the chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients well.

        Cook the Soup: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork.

          Shred the Chicken: Carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.

            Add Lime Juice: Squeeze the juice of one lime into the soup and stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

              Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and offer optional garnishes like diced avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro, and crispy tortilla strips for added flavor and texture.
