Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot. This ensures they cook evenly and soak up all the flavors.
Add the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, chicken broth, onion, and garlic into the pot.
Sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the top. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
Set your crockpot to low and cook for 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
About 30 minutes before serving, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup and stir in the lime juice and cilantro.
Serve hot, topped with tortilla strips and any optional garnishes you like. Enjoy the layers of flavor that have come together while you were busy living your life.
