1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon ground cumin (divided)
1 large sweet Vidalia onion, diced
15 oz can red enchilada sauce
14.5 oz can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
4 oz can diced green chiles
15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen corn
4 cups chicken broth (halal certified)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Season chicken breast with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of cumin.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until fully cooked through.
Remove chicken from the pot, shred it using two forks, and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent.
Stir in the remaining tablespoon of cumin, red enchilada sauce, fire-roasted tomatoes, green chiles, black beans, corn, and chicken broth.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let cook for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine.
Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Serve hot with your favorite optional toppings.
