• 1 15-ounce can canned corn, drained
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 0.5 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker.

Step 2

Pour the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained black beans, and drained corn over the chicken.

Step 3

Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the mixture.

Step 4

Add the chicken broth to the slow cooker to ensure the dish remains moist during cooking.

Step 5

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the sauce.

Step 7

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with additional taco seasoning or salt, if necessary.

Step 8

If desired, top with shredded cheese before serving and allow it to melt.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot. This dish pairs well with rice, or can be used as a filling for tacos, burritos, or enchiladas.

Step 10

To freeze, let the dish cool completely, then portion it into freezer bags or containers. Label and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm on the stove or in a microwave.
