Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 medium onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup frozen corn

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 lime, juiced

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Optional: avocado slices and shredded cheese for serving

Instructions
 

Sear the Chicken: In a large pan over medium heat, add olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Prepare the Sauce: In the same pan, add onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine, and allow it to simmer for just a couple of minutes.

      Load the Crock Pot: Place the seared chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot. Pour the tomato mixture over the chicken, ensuring they are well submerged.

        Final Touches: Add the frozen corn and black beans on top of the sauce. Gently pour in the lime juice for added zest.

          Cook: Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easily shred with a fork.

            Serve: Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the crock pot and stir it into the sauce. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and shredded cheese if desired. Enjoy your delicious crock pot chicken!
