Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds chicken tenders
- salt to taste
- 1 pinch ground cumin, or to taste
- 1 pinch chili powder, or to taste
- 1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
- 1 (32 ounce) container chicken broth
- 2 (15.5 ounce) jars queso dip
- 2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)

Directions
Step 1
Rub chicken with salt, then follow with cumin, chili powder, and pepper.
Step 2
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in the hot skillet until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and cut into chunks.
Step 3
Combine chicken broth, queso, diced tomatoes and chiles, pepper and onion blend, tortilla chips, black beans, jalapeno peppers, and lime juice in a slow cooker. Add chicken. Season soup with cayenne, and add more salt, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and pepper to taste. Mix well.
Step 4
Cook on Low for 8 hours or High for 5 hours. Top with crushed tortillas.
Cook’s Notes:
You can use chicken breasts but I prefer tenders. I use Newman's Own(R) queso, but you can use homemade.
