I was cruising Pinterest the other day like that's a shock and I came across tonight's dinner.  Sometimes when I see a recipe I pin it to look at later well, when I saw this one I knew I was making it immediately.  This comes from www.thecottagehome.blogspot.com. 

                                       Slow Cooker Green Chicken & Rice Soup

3-4 chicken breasts (frozen or thawed)
1 box chicken stock
1 can white beans (rinsed)
1 jar green salsa
1 c. frozen corn
1 onion chopped
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 pkg. Uncle Ben's Ready Rice-Santa Fe Style
    Garnish (optional) crushed tortilla chips, shredded jack cheese, and sour cream

Place first 8 ingredients into your slow cooker.  Set slow cooker on low cook 7-8 hours.
Before serving, remove chicken and shred.  Return chicken back to slow cooker.  Cook your "ready rice" according to pkg. directions (should only take 90 seconds) and add the entire contents of pkg. to soup.  Stir to combine.
Serve topped with crushed chips, cheese and sour cream.

My note:  I always keep shredded chicken in my freezer to have on hand for soups and other things my recipe is one of the first ones I posted so cruise back and find it.  It is worth a do cause it saves you time and money.  Anyways I used my shredded chicken and added another can of beans.  I also went ahead an added the rice at the beginning of cooking time just so, I wouldn't forget and it turned out fine.  Other than that I left the recipe alone.  I will have to say a very tasty soup glad I found this one and the bearded fella had two servings and I ate it for lunch the next day.   Very tasty.  Enjoy!!!
