02 - 1 cup chicken broth, reduced-sodium
03 - 1 teaspoon cumin powder
04 - 2 teaspoons salt
05 - 2 teaspoons chili powder
06 - 1 to 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

→ Add Later

07 - 1 cup brown rice, uncooked
08 - 1 bag (15 oz) frozen corn kernels
09 - 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

# Instructions:

01 - Dump the chicken, tomatoes, broth, and spices into the slow cooker. Let it cook on LOW for 3-4 hours.
02 - Toss in the beans, corn, and rice. Keep cooking on LOW for another 3-4 hours or until the rice softens.
03 - Shred the chicken—either mix everything together or leave it separate. Fix the flavors if needed, and serve with your choice of toppings.

# Notes:

01 - Peek at the rice during the last hour to see how it's doing.
02 - If things start getting too dry, pour in a bit more broth.
03 - Switch to HIGH if you need to cook off extra liquid faster.
