Ingredients
Method
Prep the slow cooker
- 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
- 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
- Add black beans, corn, and taco seasoning. These bring texture, color, and that irresistible Mexican-inspired flavor.
Set and forget
- 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
- 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
- Stir in the shredded cheddar (or Mexican cheese blend) until melted and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
