Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans
• 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned)
• 1 can (15 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chiles
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 2

Drain and rinse the black beans, then add them to the crock pot along with the corn kernels and fire-roasted diced tomatoes (do not drain the tomatoes).

Step 3

Add the chicken broth, diced green chiles, diced onion, and minced garlic to the pot.

Step 4

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 6

Remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.

Step 7

Add the cream cheese into the soup and stir until fully melted and incorporated. Allow the soup to cook for an additional 15-20 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side, if desired.
