Servings: 4

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, visible fat discarded, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

2 cups frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed

2 cups fat-free, no-salt-added chicken broth

1 can (14 1/2 ounces) no-salt-added, diced tomatoes, undrained

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon ancho powder

2 medium garlic cloves, minced

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 corn tortillas (6 inches each), cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips

1 corn tortilla (6 inches), torn into pieces

2-4 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro

1/4 cup finely chopped avocado

1/4 medium red bell pepper, cut into matchstick-size strips

In slow cooker, stir chicken, corn, broth, tomatoes, onion, sugar, ancho powder, garlic and salt. Cook, covered, on low, 6-8 hours, or on high, 3-4 hours.
