Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In your slow cooker, add the chicken, salsa, chicken broth, and chili powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cook on high for 3.5 hours or low for 7.5 hours.
  2. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker, shred it using two forks, and return it to the cooker to mix it back into the liquid.
  3. Stir in the uncooked rice, black beans, and corn. Set the slow cooker to high and let it cook for an additional 30 minutes, until rice is tender.
  4. Check consistency; if too thick, add a splash of chicken broth. Serve hot with favorite toppings.
