Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by dicing the onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, and mincing the garlic. Set aside.

    Layer the Soup: In the slow cooker, layer the diced onion, bell pepper, garlic, and jalapeño. Place the chicken breasts on top.

      Add Vegetables and Spices: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), black beans, and corn. Add the chicken broth, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine, making sure to keep the chicken breasts at the bottom.

        Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easily shred with a fork.

          Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup and add the lime juice. Stir to combine.

            Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with tortilla strips, fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and shredded cheese as desired. Enjoy your cozy comfort food!
