Instructions

Layer the chicken in your slow cooker, making sure it is positioned evenly. Spread the corn, black beans and tomatoes on top of the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours.
When the chicken is cooked through, add the chili powder, cumin, salt, corn starch and cilantro to the slow cooker and stir. Be careful not to break the chicken apart and stir until the seasoning and corn starch are mixed into the liquid.
Serve with a slotted spoon with cooked rice.
