Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot.
Pour in chicken broth, diced tomatoes with green chiles, black beans, and frozen corn.
Add diced onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine the ingredients evenly.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once the chicken is done, remove the breasts from the crock pot and shred them using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir it into the soup.
Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed (add more salt, pepper, or spices to your liking).
If desired, prepare garnishes: bake or fry the tortilla strips until crispy, dice avocado, and shred cheese.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with your preferred garnishes, such as crispy tortilla strips, shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or fresh cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor.
