Ingredients

Ingredients into the Slow Cooker:

3 Pounds Chicken Breasts or thighs (boneless/skinless)
2 (15oz) Cans Fire-Roasted Diced Tomatoes
1 Cup Chicken Broth
1 Onion (chopped)
1 Jalapeno (chopped)
4 Tsp Chili Powder
2 Tsp Cumin
1 Tsp Salt

Ingredients to Cook Rice:

1½ Cups Rice (dry)
3 Cups Water (to cook rice)
½ Tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Butter

Added Ingredients:

1 (15oz) Can Corn
1 (15oz) Can Black Beans
1 Envelope Taco Seasoning
2 Cups Mexican Blend Cheese (shredded)
Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Add the ingredients to the Slow Cooker: Add to the slow cooker the chicken breasts, cans of fire-roasted diced tomatoes (do not drain the liquid), 1 cup chicken broth, diced onion, diced jalapeno, cumin, and chili powder.
Set temperature and cook: Place the lid on the slow cooker and set the temp to LOW for 3-4 hours.
Cook the Rice Separately: Measure out 1 1/2 cups of rice and 3 cups of water, salt, and 1 tbsp butter in a separate medium saucepan and cook over medium-high heat. Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat to low, place the cover on the pan, and simmer the rice on low for 20-25 minutes. Do not open the lid to check on the rice until the timer is up. You will let out the heat and the rice will never cook properly.
Combine everything together: When the chicken is cooked through take two forks or a hand mixer and shred the chicken. Add your pre-cooked rice, corn (drained), black beans (rinsed and drained), 2 cups of Mexican blend shredded cheese, and the packet of taco seasoning to the slow cooker. Combine these ingredients well. Taste for seasoning. Add more salt and pepper if you feel it's necessary.
Serve with sour cream and your favorite salsa.
