For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of diced tomatoes with green chiles. Adjust the amount of enchilada sauce to your preference; use more for a saucier casserole. Feel free to substitute ground chicken or turkey for the chicken thighs. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.

StepGather all ingredients. (5 minutes)

StepIn a 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker, combine chicken, black beans, corn, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin. Pour enchilada sauce over the mixture, ensuring the chicken is well coated. (10 minutes)
