1 (15 ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
1 medium yellow onion, diced

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir gently to combine all ingredients around the chicken breasts.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them with two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
Add chopped fresh cilantro and lime juice to the chili, stirring well.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if desired.
