Ingredients
  

1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

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

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced

1 cup corn (frozen or canned, drained if canned)

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups chicken broth

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Optional toppings: Sliced avocado and sour cream

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Lay the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle evenly with salt, black pepper, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, smoked paprika, and dried oregano, ensuring the chicken is well-seasoned.

    Add Vegetables: Layer the thinly sliced onions and bell pepper on top of the seasoned chicken. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the vegetables, then add the black beans, corn, and the can of diced tomatoes (including juices). Pour the chicken broth evenly over all the ingredients to soak up the flavors.

      Slow Cook: Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the mixture. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

        Shred the Chicken: Once the cooking time is complete, use tongs to carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and transfer them to a cutting board. Shred the chicken using two forks, creating bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and stir everything together to combine.

          Add Lime Juice: Squeeze the juice of one fresh lime into the soup. Stir to incorporate the citrusy brightness into the dish.

            Garnish and Serve: Ladle the warm soup into bowls and garnish generously with fresh cilantro. For added richness, feel free to top each bowl with slices of creamy avocado and a dollop of sour cream.
