1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) corn, drained

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups chicken broth

1 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 lime, juiced

1 cup tortilla chips (for serving)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Start by placing the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.

    Add Vegetables and Spices: Layer the diced tomatoes (with juices), black beans, corn, onion, and minced garlic over the chicken.

      Season: Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the contents in the slow cooker.

        Add Broth: Pour the chicken broth over everything, ensuring that the chicken is submerged in the liquid.

          Cooking Time: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

            Shred the Chicken: About 30 minutes before serving, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.

              Finish with Flavor: Stir in the lime juice to brighten the flavors of the soup.

                Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, then top with crumbled tortilla chips, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
