Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of a slow cooker.

Step 2

Add the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), black beans, frozen corn, chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced green chilies to the slow cooker.

Step 3

Sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the top.
