Slow cooker Santa Fe Chicken

FAST, EASY, CHEAP, HEALTHY AND YUMMY.  This recipe is a keeper.  I make it every so often.  Stephen loves it.  It's nothing fancy but it tastes good.

I can't remember where I first found this recipe.  I've changed up a few things to give it more flavor. You really don't need to measure this out -- This recipe is super flexible.  I tried to guess amounts just to give you a ballpark.

2 cups corn (recipe actually called for 2 cans of corn. I like to use frozen corn cuz it's healthier...and better!)
2 cups beans (Recipe calls for 1 can of black beans.  I like more beans and I like to use lots of kinds, just                                                           whatever I have on hand.  I usually don't use canned either)
2-3 chicken breasts
1-2 cups of salsa
Taco seasoning to taste and two or so cubes of chicken bouillon (not in original recipe.  Gives better flavor.)

Just dump all of these ingredients in the slow cooker and turn it on high or low, depending on how long you want it to take before it's done.  On high it will take just a couple hours (in my slowcooker at least) and on low it takes 3 or 4.  Serve over rice.
