Instructions
- Place the raw chicken breasts in an even layer at the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker crock.
- Pour the red enchilada sauce, chicken bone broth, drained black beans, sweet corn, and diced green chilies evenly over the chicken.
- Sprinkle in the ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir liquid gently around the chicken to distribute spices.
- Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours (or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours) until the chicken breasts are ultra-tender and easily pull apart.
- Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker crock (or transfer to a cutting board, shred, and return to the crock).
- Add the softened cubed cream cheese and 1 cup of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Whisk vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheeses are fully melted and incorporated into a velvety, creamy broth.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt or black pepper if desired.
- Ladle hot soup into bowls. Top generously with crispy tortilla strips, diced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, extra shredded cheddar, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
