How to Make 4 Ingredient Chicken Chili

Brown 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Set aside.
In your slow cooker, combine the browned chicken, 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), and 1 (15 ounce) can corn (drained).
Stir in 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
Cook on high for 2 hours, then reduce to low for 4 hours or until chicken is cooked through and flavors have melded.
Stir occasionally. If the chili becomes too thick, add a little water or chicken broth.
Serve hot, topped with your favorite chili toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and tortilla chips.
