- Add the beans, diced tomatoes, green chilies, corn, and chopped Jalapenos to the slow cooker.
- Season all the ingredients (if you haven't already) and mix around the ingredients so they can get to know each other
- Cook for 6 hours on low or 4 hours on high
- Once chicken is fully cooked through, turn your slow cooker on the warm setting and fish out all of the chicken from the slow cooker and place in a medium sized bowl.
- Shred the chicken with two forks and put the chicken back into the slow cooker

Notes
- There are several ingredients you can substitute out for their counterparts:
- Boneless, Chicken thighs > Boneless, Chicken Breast
- Canned White Beans > Bagged, Great Northern Beans
- Sour Cream > Greek Yogurt
- If your like firmer corn you can add the corn in later when you take the chicken out to shred it
- Season your chicken before placing any ingredients in the slow cooker with the cumin, cayenne, and salt to ensure no part of the chicken is flavorless
- Use gloves when slicing your jalapenos to avoid burning hands!
