Ingredients
  

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts – Tender and perfect for shredding after slow cooking.
3 cups chicken broth – Adds depth and a savory base to the soup.
  • 1 can 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed – Brings protein, texture, and that hearty feel.
  • 1 cup corn kernels – Fresh frozen, or canned all work well for a touch of sweetness.
  • 1 can 10 oz enchilada sauce – The star ingredient that delivers bold, authentic flavor.
  • 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomatoes with green chilies – For extra tang and mild heat.
  • 1 packet taco seasoning – A quick way to infuse Mexican-inspired spices without measuring each one separately.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend – Melts into creamy cheesy goodness.
Fresh cilantro – Optional, for a bright, herby garnish.
Salt and pepper – To taste, enhancing all the flavors.

Method
 

Prep the slow cooker
  1. Place your chicken breasts directly into the slow cooker. No need to pre-cook — they’ll turn tender and juicy as they simmer.
Add the flavorful base
  1. Pour in the chicken broth, enchilada sauce, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Give it a gentle stir so the flavors start mingling right away.
Mix in the hearty extras
  1. Add black beans, corn, and taco seasoning. These bring texture, color, and that irresistible Mexican-inspired flavor.
Set and forget
  1. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours. Your kitchen will smell amazing as the soup slowly develops its rich flavor.
Shred the chicken
  1. About 20 minutes before serving, remove the chicken breasts, shred them with two forks, and return the meat to the pot. Stir well to coat it in all that savory goodness.
Add the cheesy finish
  1. Stir in the shredded cheddar (or Mexican cheese blend) until melted and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
