* 1/2 onion, chopped * 1 (16 ounce) can chili beans * 1 (15 ounce) can black beans * 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained * 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce * 1 1/2 c chicken broth * 1 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained * 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning * 3 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts * shredded Cheddar cheese (optional) * sour cream (optional) * crushed tortilla chips (optional)
Directions
1. Place the onion, chili beans, black beans, corn, tomato sauce, chicken broth, and diced tomatoes in a slow cooker. Add taco seasoning, and stir to blend. Lay chicken breasts on top of the mixture, pressing down slightly until just covered by the other ingredients. Set slow cooker for low heat, cover, and cook for 5 hours. 2. Remove chicken breasts from the soup, and allow to cool long enough to be handled. Stir the shredded chicken back into the soup, and continue cooking for 2 hours. Serve topped with shredded Cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips, if desired.
It looks great except for the high sodium. I will substitute chili powder, cumin and coriander for the taco seasoning to cut down on the sodium.

This was great. My family loved it and my son suggested that we make a double batch, drain it and use as burrito filling. We'll try that idea too! Great and easy find.

This recipe is absolutely fabolous! Before throwing it in the slow cooker, I sauted the onion in olive oil until clear and added diced red bell pepper. This recipe is a keeper!

I make this several times a year. It's delicious, nutritious, and filling! I've shared this with several people, and it's become a staple in their house as well. Thank you! :)

I love the idea - but the sodium is way too high for my heart. I am going to use it but take the time to soak the beans and not used processed beans. 1,385 is so high - wow...

I LOVE this soup! Even my kids love this soup! I have made it several times. The only thing I do differently is I only add two chicken breasts.

Can anyone comment on how spicy this is. We like things on the milder side. I have never cooked with chili beans or tomatoes with green chilis so I have no idea if these 2 ingredients will make it spicy?

My husband made this for the first time today and it was delicious. We will definately add this our recipe book. Also being able to add it to my daily food diary was so convenient. Thanks for sharing! - 11/10/11
