Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 15 oz can corn, drained
  • 1 10 oz can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 packet fajita seasoning or homemade
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese sour cream, lime, cilantro, tortilla strips, avocado

Method
 

  1. Add Everything to the Slow Cooker:
  2. Place chicken breasts, sliced peppers, onion, Rotel, black beans, corn, chicken broth, and all seasonings into your crock pot.
  3. Slow Cook:
  4. Cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  5. Shred the Chicken:
  6. Remove chicken breasts, shred them with two forks, and return them to the soup.
  7. Make It Creamy:
  8. Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup warm for another 10–15 minutes.
  9. Serve:
  10. Ladle into bowls and top with cheese, cilantro, lime juice, or tortilla strips.

Notes

For a thicker soup, add 4 oz cream cheese or reduce broth by 1 cup.
Swap chicken breasts for chicken thighs for richer flavor.
To make it spicy, add jalapeños, extra Rotel, or a dash of hot sauce.
This soup freezes beautifully—leave out the cream until reheating for best texture.
Great as a fajita-style meal: serve over rice or with warm tortillas.
