For a thicker soup, mash some of the black beans against the side of the slow cooker before adding the shredded chicken.
Adjust the amount of jalapeno pepper to your liking, depending on your spice preference.
If you don't have frozen chicken breasts, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They will require a similar cooking time.
This soup is even more flavorful the next day, making it perfect for meal prepping.
