\nPrepare the Chicken: Place the 1 \u00bd lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
\nAdd Vegetables and Seasonings: Add the 1 diced medium onion, 1 can green enchilada sauce (low sodium), 1 can diced green chiles, 1 can drained and rinsed black beans, 1 can drained corn kernels, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp onion powder, salt, and pepper over the chicken in the slow cooker.
\nPour the Broth: Add the 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth to cover all the ingredients.
\nCook: Set your slow cooker to LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreddable.
\nShred the Chicken: Once the cooking time is done, carefully remove the cooked chicken breasts from the slow cooker. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
\nFinish the Soup: Stir in the juice of 1 lime. Let the soup sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust the seasoning (salt, pepper, or more lime juice) if needed.
\nServe: Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro or other desired toppings like light sour cream or fat-free cheese (adjust Weight Watchers points accordingly for any added toppings).<\/p>\n\n
