Ingredients

• 4 cups water
• 2 cubes chicken bouillon
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 (8 ounce) jar salsa
• 2 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 medium onion, chopped
• 0.5 cup frozen corn
• 1.5 teaspoons onion powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add water, chicken, bouillon cubes, parsley, onion powder, pepper, and garlic powder; bring to a boil.

Step 2

Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 3

Remove chicken and shred with 2 forks. Return to the pot, along with black beans, tomatoes, salsa, corn, and chili powder. Return to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.
