Instructions

- Place the chicken breast, diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, onion, and water into the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours. Ensure chicken reaches the proper internal temperature of 165* degrees.
- In a medium-size skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the corn and jalapeno peppers to the skillet. Let cook without moving for a couple of minutes to slightly scorch the corn. Add the chili powder and cook until the corn is cooked through and to your desired level of scorched. Remove from heat and add the lime juice and cilantro.
