Ingredients
  • 1 package of perdue® fresh boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup pico de gallo or fresh salsa, for serving
  • 4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 jar of fire roasted salsa
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn
  • 1 box of cooked yellow rice, for serving

Directions
  1. Into a slow cooker, combine the chicken thighs, chicken broth, fire roasted salsa, black beans and corn.

  4. Return the chicken shreds back to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
  5. To serve, place a scoop of yellow rice into a shallow soup bowl.
  6. Ladle Slow Cooker Enchilada Soup over the rice.
  7. Top with cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream and tortilla strips.
