Stovetop Instructions:

1. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced onion and garlic, and sauté for about 4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

2. Add Chicken and Ingredients: Add the chicken breasts, tomato sauce, chicken broth, spices, black beans, and corn. Stir to combine.

3. Bring to a Boil: Cover the pot, turn the heat to high, and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes.

4. Shred the Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken from the pot. Shred the chicken using two forks (or use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment for quick shredding!). Return the shredded chicken to the pot, stir to combine, and enjoy!

Crockpot Instructions:

1. Optional Sauté: Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic for 4 minutes, then transfer to the Crockpot.

2. Combine in Crockpot: Add the chicken breasts, tomato sauce, chicken broth, spices, black beans, and corn. Stir well.

3. Cook: Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

4. Shred the Chicken: After cooking, remove the chicken and shred it using two forks or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Add the shredded chicken back to the pot, stir to combine, and enjoy!

Instant Pot Instructions:

1. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Set the Instant Pot to the “Sauté” function for 4 minutes. Sauté the onions and garlic, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom to avoid a burn notice.

2. Add Chicken and Ingredients: Add the chicken breasts, tomato sauce, chicken broth, spices, black beans, and corn. Stir everything together.

3. Cook Under Pressure: Cover the Instant Pot, set it to “Sealing,” and cook on Manual Pressure for 10 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure.

4. Release and Shred Chicken: Once the cooking time is complete, quick-release the pressure. Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks (or use a stand mixer), and add the shredded chicken back to the pot. Stir to combine, and enjoy
