Start by combining the red kidney beans, chopped onion, corn, salsa, tomato sauce, chili powder, ground cumin, and Tex Mex seasoning in your slow cooker. Make sure the ingredients are mixed well to ensure that each bite is bursting with flavor.
Next, take your chicken breasts and place them on top of the mixed ingredients. Gently stir them in without completely mixing them with the beans and sauce. The chicken will soak up all the delicious flavors while cooking.
Cover your slow cooker with a lid. Set it to cook either on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours. This is where the magic happens, as the flavors meld together beautifully.
When the cooking time is up, carefully transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board using tongs. Let it cool slightly, then shred it using two forks. Shredding allows the meat to absorb the flavors of the chili.
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir everything together. This step ensures that every ingredient is coated in that rich, flavorful sauce.
If you like, garnish your chili with fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness. Serve hot, and don't forget to top it with cheddar cheese or any of your favorite chili toppings.
