Begin by placing 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika evenly over the chicken.
Next, add 1 can (15 ounces) of black beans, drained and rinsed, and 1 cup of frozen corn on top of the chicken.
Pour in 1 cup of diced tomatoes with green chilies, followed by the juice of 2 limes. Stir gently to combine the ingredients without disturbing the chicken too much.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, mixing it with the other ingredients.
For the avocado cream, blend 2 ripe avocados, the juice of 1 lime, 1/4 cup of sour cream, and a pinch of salt in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
Serve the fiesta chicken in bowls, topped with a generous dollop of avocado cream and garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
Enjoy with tortilla chips or over rice for a complete meal.
