- 15 oz Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 1.5 cups Corn kernels (frozen or canned, drained)
- 1 piece Onion (medium, diced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth

Instructions
Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Pour the canned diced tomatoes (with green chiles) over the chicken.
Add the black beans, corn kernels, diced onion, and minced garlic.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning, salt, and pepper evenly over the ingredients.
Pour the chicken broth into the crock pot to help create a flavorful base.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 6-7 hours, or HIGH for 3-4 hours.
Once the cooking time is complete, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot. Mix everything together to incorporate the flavors.
