How to make Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken
Step 1: Combine the corn with beans, tomatoes, onion, and jalapeno in a large slow cooker. Lay the chicken breasts over the veggies, then add the bouillon cube.
Step 2: Sprinkle the mixed seasonings over the chicken and veggies in the slow cooker. Set to cook for 6 to 8 hours on low or 3 to 4 hours on high.
Step 3: Flip the chicken breasts if needed and give the dish a light stir halfway through cooking.
Step 4: Top the chicken breasts with cheese after the cooking time is up. Tent and let the cheese melt for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Notes:
You can swap the spices with a packet of taco seasoning.
Substitute Colby jack with cheddar or Monterey jack, even a combination of both.
