Begin by placing 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot. Next, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning evenly over the chicken.
Then, add 1 cup of diced sweet potatoes on top of the chicken. After that, pour in 1 can (15 ounces) of black beans, drained and rinsed, followed by 1 cup of corn kernels.
In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of diced tomatoes with green chilies, 1/2 cup of diced red onion, and the juice of 2 limes.
Pour this mixture over the ingredients in the crock pot. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks and stir it back into the mixture. For a personal touch, serve the dish with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Enjoy your colorful fiesta chicken with tortilla chips or over rice for a complete meal!
