Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs. raw boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. black pepper
• Two 14.5-oz. cans (about 3 1/2 cups) fat-free chicken broth
• One 15-oz. can cannellini (white kidney) beans, drained and rinsed
• One 14.5-oz. can stewed tomatoes (not drained)
• 2 cups bagged coleslaw mix
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1/4 tsp. ground thyme
• 1 dried bay leaf

Preparation

Step 1

Season chicken with 1/4 tsp. salt and the pepper. Place all ingredients except remaining salt in a slow cooker and stir. Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours, until chicken is fully cooked.

Remove and discard the bay leaf. Transfer chicken to a large bowl. Shred with two forks--one to hold the chicken in place and the other to scrape across and shred it.

Stir shredded chicken and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt into the soup in the slow cooker. Serve up and enjoy!
