Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn (frozen or fresh)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
- In a large pot over medium heat, start by sautéing the chopped onion and minced garlic until they’re fragrant and translucent. It’s time to unleash those delicious aromas!
- Add your chicken breasts to the pot. Don’t be shy! Let them mingle with the onions and garlic. Cook until they are browned on the outside (about 5-7 minutes).

- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and let it bubble away for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juicy.
- Once the chicken is ready, carefully remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. This is where you can release any pent-up frustration – shred away!
- Return the shredded chicken to the pot, and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Give it one last stir, and it’s ready to serve up!
