Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 (14.5 oz can)  black beans, drained
  • 1 (14.5 oz can) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 (14.5 oz can corn, drained

  • 2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper, optional
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • optional toppings: chips, cheese, avocado

Instructions

Combine all ingredients (except optional toppings) in the instant pot or slow cooker.

Option 1: Use the manual button on the instant pot to cook for 14 minutes. (Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally so they cook faster). If chicken does not shred easily, put the lid back on and cook an additional 3-4 minutes.

Option 2: Cook in the slow cooker for 6-8 hours on low or until the chicken shreds easily.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add toppings and serve!
