Ingredients
4 Chicken Breasts 2 Cans Chicken Broth2 Cans Red Enchilada Sauce2 Cans Diced Tomotoes1 Can Black Beans (rinsed)1 Can Yellow Corn2 Small Cans Diced Green Chilies1 Yellow Onion (diced)3 Tablespoons Cumin2 Tablespoons Chili PowderCayenne Pepper ( depends on your spice tolerance. I use 5 tablespoons, but I LOVE spicy stuff)2 Cups of WaterSalt/Pepper to tasteLow Calorie Sour Cream/Cheese optional for toppings (not figured into nutritional information)
Directions
Combine all ingredients into a dutch oven or crock pot, except chicken. Stir together ingredients and drop in 4 chicken breasts (can be frozen). If using a crock pot, cooking time is 5-6 hours on low. Half way through, pull chicken breasts out and shred chicken using two forks. Put chicken back in. If using a dutch oven, soup cooking time is about 2 hours. Same thing with chicken. Pull out half way through and shred and put back in soup and allow it some time to soak up the juices.

I prefer to use a dutch oven, as it seems to come out a bit thicker than it does in a crock pot.
