Instructions

  • Dice the onion and bell peppers for preparation.
  • Place chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot, then layer with diced onions, bell peppers, black beans, corn, salsa, chicken broth, and taco seasoning.
  • Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-6 hours until the chicken is cooked through and easily shredded.
  • Carefully remove the cooked chicken, shred it using two forks, then return it to the crockpot and stir into the mixture.
  • Ladle the chicken and bean mixture into bowls, optionally over brown rice, and garnish with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, or diced avocado.

Notes

For best flavor, let the shredded chicken simmer in the sauce for a few minutes before serving. Adjust taco seasoning to your preferred spice level.
