This savory recipe has all the Mexican flavor without compromise. You'll love how easy this dish is to prepare. If you set the slow cooker to low then you can make this before you leave for work in the morning and it will be ready 8-10 hours later.
The beans, corn, and chicken breast make this a healthy dish while simultaneously being low in fat. The slow cooker promotes a complete melding of flavors while keeping the chicken breast tender and juicy. This recipe can be modified by changing bean types, or even adding rice, making this a versatile dish that can be made often without one getting bored. Give this soup a try, I doubt you'll be disappointed after realizing how easy, tasty, and different this dish can be!!
