Instructions

Step 1

Step 1 Add all of the ingredients – except for the garnish – into a slow cooker and give the mixture a hearty stir.

Step 2

Step 2 Set the slow cooker to high and cook for 3 to 4 hours, or set it to low and cook for 6 to 8 hours. Cooking with high heat in less time will yield more of a soup-like consistency; whereas cooking with low heat for a longer time will create a thicker, stew-like broth.

Step 3

Step 3 Once the soup has cooked for about 80% of the desired cook time, remove the chicken breasts with tongs and set them on a plate. Pull the chicken apart using forks, and then place the chicken back in the slow cooker to finish cooking for the remaining time.

Step 4

Step 4 Serve immediately and enjoy with freshly chopped avocado, cilantro and lime juice.
