Chef Tips
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for tender meat that shreds easily.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers or onions early to enhance the soup’s flavor.
- If you like a thicker soup, stir in some shredded cheese or a small amount of cornstarch mixed with water near the end of cooking.

Directions
Tos the chicken broth, chicken, corn, chopped onion, barbecue sauce, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of garlic salt into your slow cooker. Let it cook on low for about 5 hours until everything is nice and tender. Once it’s done, take the chicken out and shred or chop it into bite-sized pieces, then stir it back into the soup. When you’re ready to eat, ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle each one with some mozzarella cheese and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
