New Slow Cooker Staple

The hubby is generally not a fan of foods prepared in the slow cooker. I have been looking for recipes he might enjoy produced from this wonderful contraption that requires so little effort on my part! Recently I found a gem that will now be a "winter staple" in the Kim household - chicken tortilla soup! I got it from Allrecipes and made a few modifications to it. Here it is as I prepared it, in case you are interested!

1 pound raw chicken
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce (medium in spiciness)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 can of corn
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
tortilla chips, avocado, and cheese as desired for garnish

Mix all non-garnish items together in the slow cooker. Cover, and cook on Low setting for 6 to 8 hours or on High setting for 3 to 4 hours. Shred chicken about halfway through cooking then return to slow cooker.
