Instructions

Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add the onion, beans, diced green chiles, jalapeño, garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, cayenne pepper, and chicken broth.
Cover and cook on the low setting for 7-8 hours or high setting for 3½-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove the chicken to a clean cutting board or bowl and let it rest. Optionally, mash some of the beans in the slow cooker to thicken the broth and stir in the corn, then cover and cook on high for 10 minutes.
Shred the chicken using two forks or a stand mixer and stir it back into the chili. Serve with toppings of your choice.

Notes

For extra heat, include more cayenne pepper or add hot sauce before serving.
You can prepare this dish a day in advance; simply refrigerate and reheat before serving.
Feel free to customize toppings like avocado or plain Greek yogurt based on personal preference.
