  • 1 1/4 lb raw boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 3–4 Breasts)
  • 10 oz. diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes (no salt added)
  • 1 cup frozen corn thawed (Andrea uses canned so that’s fine too)
  • 1 cup black beans (no salt added), drained & rinsed
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeno, diced (Andrea didn’t use because she didn’t have so whatever you have works)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups of organic, low sodium chicken broth or stock
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. Himalayan salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper

Tortilla Strips:

  • olive oil cooking spray
  • Himalayan salt

Optional toppings – avocado, cheese, lime, Greek yogurt, cilantro

Instructions for crock pot

  1. Toss all the ingredients for the soup into your crock pot. Stir, turn on low, and go about your day. Check back in 6-8 hours.
  2. Before serving, shred the chicken.

To make homemade tortilla strips:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 and cut the corn tortillas into strips. Spray with olive oil spray and sprinkle with Himalayan salt. Bake for about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Enjoy with toppings!

Instructions for Instant Pot

  1. Toss all the ingredients for the soup into your Instant Pot and give it a stir.
  2. Turn onto to manual setting for 15 minutes. It will take about 10-15 minutes to come to pressure. When the timer is up, carefully switch to quick release (I put a kitchen towel over the top to be safe). Once the the steam stops, carefully open the lid and shred the chicken with two forks.
