How to Make Frozen Chicken Delight

Layer the Chicken: Place the frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker for a thick base that will soak up the flavors.
Add the Veggies: Pour in the canned, undrained diced tomatoes along with the low-sodium black beans, low-sodium chicken broth, diced onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Top it Off: Sprinkle the diced bell pepper and frozen corn over everything for a colorful, nutritious twist.
Set & Forget: Cover your slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.
Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken right in the pot, infusing it with the flavorful sauce.
Mix & Serve: Stir everything together until well combined and adjust seasoning as needed before serving warm over rice or quinoa.
