  • Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 15.25 oz canned corn, drained (1 can)
  • 10 oz Rotel, drained (1 can)
  • 15.25 oz black beans, rinsed and drained (1 can)
  • 1 oz taco seasoning
  • 1 oz ranch seasoning
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: Add the chicken breast, drained corn, drained Rotel tomatoes, rinsed and drained black beans, taco seasoning, ranch seasoning, and chicken broth to your slow cooker.
  2. Cook the soup: Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  3. Shred the chicken: Remove the chicken breast from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
  4. Mix and serve: Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker, stir well to combine all ingredients evenly, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or use spicy Rotel.
  • Serve with toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or fresh cilantro for added flavor and texture.
  • This soup freezes well; store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier, more flavorful option.
  • If preferred, cooking on high for 4 hours is a good shortcut without sacrificing tenderness.
