- 1 piece medium onion, diced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin

Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
Add the diced tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, corn, and diced onion on top of the chicken.
Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the mixture.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. Stir well to evenly mix the shredded chicken with the chili.
Serve the chili hot, topped with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, if desired.
