Recipe:

  1. Add tsp of olive oil to pan and cook chicken breasts with salt and pepper, remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Warm-up crock-pot
  3. Once chicken it cooled cut or shred to smaller pieces, I prefer to use cooking shears
  4. Add to crockpot: enchilada sauce, can of corn (undrained), drained and washed garbanzo beans, cut-up chicken, 1 pressed garlic clove, chicken broth, green chillies, fresh cilantro, chili powder and cumin and pepper and salt. 
  5. Cooking time can vary based on your slow cooker's setting, I cooked mine for around 2 hours, could go longer on a very low setting. 
  6. Once soup is warmed and cooked, serve with more fresh cilantro, tortilla crumbles, and cheddar cheese
