Remove the chicken breasts and shred with two forks. Put chicken back into the pot.
Add the corn.

Notes

You can top with cheese, fresh diced jalapeño, sour cream, or salsa as desired. Alternatively this chili can be made in either an instant pot or slow cooker. You'll just need to adjust the cooking time. Instant pot cut times in half. Slow cooker put everything in the pot and cook for 5-6 hours on low. In addition you can use bone broth in the place of broth is you like.
