  1. Start by placing the boneless skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the top, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.
  3. Layer in the diced green chiles, drained black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and corn.
  4. Pour the chicken broth over the top of the ingredients, covering them completely.
  5. Secure the lid on the slow cooker and set it to cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 6-7 hours.
  6. Carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker, stirring it into the flavorful broth.
  8. Stir in the grated Mexican-blend cheese and heavy cream into the soup mixture.
  9. Cook on HIGH for an additional 30-60 minutes until the cheese melts completely.
