Preparation Steps
  1. Lay the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker, ensuring even spacing.
  2. Add the drained black beans, drained corn, and Rotel diced tomatoes on top of the chicken. Sprinkle onion powder and ground black pepper over the mixture.
  3. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the ingredients, then pour chicken broth throughout the mixture. Place the cream cheese on top.
