Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

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

1 can (15 oz) sweet corn, drained

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon lime juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Begin by laying the chicken breasts flat at the bottom of your crockpot. Ensure they are evenly spaced for uniform cooking.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced onion, minced garlic, black beans, sweet corn, diced tomatoes (with their juices), taco seasoning, and ground cumin. Mix thoroughly so that all ingredients are evenly coated with spices.

      Carefully pour this mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, spreading it out evenly to ensure that the chicken is well covered.

        Season the top of the mixture with salt and pepper, to taste. Then, drizzle the lime juice evenly over everything for a burst of freshness.

          Cover the crockpot securely with the lid, and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender enough to shred easily.

            After cooking, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, mixing it thoroughly with the other ingredients to enhance the flavor combination.

              Serve the deliciously savory Mexican chicken hot and last but not least, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a vibrant touch.
