Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, chopped (any color you love)
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup frozen corn
Juice of 1 lime
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Corn tortillas, cut into strips and toasted
Optional: diced avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream for serving
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. This allows the chicken to absorb maximum flavor as it cooks.
Add the diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, and bell pepper. These ingredients will build the flavor base for the soup, just like my abuela taught me.
Stir in the black beans, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. If you love a bit of heat, feel free to add a dash of cayenne pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
About 30 minutes before serving, remove the chicken breasts, shred them using two forks, and return to the slow cooker.
Add the corn and lime juice. Let it cook for another 30 minutes. The lime juice adds a bright note that ties everything together.
When ready to serve, garnish with fresh cilantro and toasted tortilla strips. Serve with optional toppings like avocado, cheese, and sour cream for extra richness.
