Instructions

Chop the onion and the bell pepper. Mince the garlic. Put all three in a
Crockpot. Add the corn, black beans, chopped olives, spices, salt and
cream cheese.
Add the can of tomatoes and can of enchilada sauce.
Set Crockpot on Medium or High for a 4 hour cook, Low for a 6 to 8 hour cook.
Remove chicken half way through and shred it with two forks on a
chopping block. Return to Crockpot to simmer and finish cooking.

Notes

Rotel and off brand diced tomatoes with chilies come in several heat levels. Pick the heat level best suited for your family.
You can use previously cooked black beans instead of canned, if you want. But don't use dry black beans.
Fire roasted corn is even more amazing in this. Canned or Frozen is fine.
