- 1, 15.5 ounce can of Great Northern beans

- Add the frozen corn, Great Northern beans, onion, fire-roasted green chiles, salsa verde, and chicken broth to the slow cooker.
- Lightly mix everything and put a lid on the slow cooker. Cook everything on low in the slow cooker for 2.5-3 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked. Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165℉.
