Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

3 cups frozen corn (approximately 2 cans if using canned)

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

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 small onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup coconut milk (or substitute with heavy cream for a richer flavor)

1 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

1 avocado, diced (for topping)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Start by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot. Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika for a depth of flavor.

    Add Vegetables: On top of the seasoned chicken, layer the frozen corn, rinsed black beans, diced tomatoes (including their juices), chopped onion, and minced garlic, creating a colorful and hearty base.

      Pour Liquids: Carefully pour the chicken broth and coconut milk over the layered ingredients. Using a spoon, gently stir to ensure everything is well mixed and the chicken is mostly submerged in the liquid.

        Cook the Chili: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easy to shred when done.

          Shred the Chicken: About 30 minutes before serving, remove the cooked chicken breasts from the crockpot. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and then return the shredded chicken back to the soup. Stir well to mix all ingredients thoroughly.

            Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or spices according to your preference.

              Serve: Ladle the creamy chili soup into bowls and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro and diced avocado on top. Serve with lime wedges on the side for that refreshing burst of flavor.
