Ingredients
  

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

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

1 can (15 oz) corn, drained

1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 packet taco seasoning

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1 bell pepper (either red or green), diced

1 small onion, diced

1 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional for extra heat)

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
 

Begin by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot, ensuring they are spread evenly.

    In a separate mixing bowl, combine the rinsed black beans, drained corn, diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, and chicken broth. Stir the mixture well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

      Evenly layer the diced bell pepper, onion, and jalapeño (if you prefer a spicier kick) over the chicken breasts in the crockpot.

        Pour the black bean and tomato mixture over the layered vegetables and chicken, making sure to cover everything evenly.

          Season with salt and pepper to your liking, then cover the crockpot with its lid.

            Set your crockpot on low and cook for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and easily pulls apart.

              Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot. Use two forks to lightly shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, then return the shredded chicken back into the pot and stir everything together to combine the flavors.

                Just before serving, squeeze in the juice of one lime and fold in the chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.
