Ingredients

In the crockpot:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cans Ro-Tel
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can corn
1 onion, chopped
2 cans low-sodium chicken broth
1-2 cups of water
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp chile powder
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp dried cilantro

Before Serving:
tortilla chips
sour cream
shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

  • Put chopped onion, cans of beans, rotel, corn, chicken broth, water, and spices in CrockPot and stir to mix. 
  • Add chicken breasts on top of mixture and make sure they're at least partly submerged in liquid. 
  • Cook on high 6-7 hours or low 8-9 hours. 
  • Before serving remove the chicken breasts from soup and shred, if needed, (sometimes they'll just fall apart on their own, but sometimes they need some help). 
  • Return chicken to CrockPot, stir to combine.

  • To serve put a few tortilla chips in the bottom of a bowl, ladle soup over tortilla chips, top with shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream, serve with more chips if you like.
