Chicken tomatillo soup

Things have gone CRAZY here! Between basketball, baseball, piano, activity days, scouts, school projects galore, callings and etc.  I am looking for good crockpot meals.  They save my life on a busy night.  Here is a good one I got from the loosli family blog. It's healthy, tasty and easy.  That's my kind meal.

4 frozen chicken breasts
1 16 oz jar of tomatillo salsa (green salsa)
2 cans great northern beans, drained but you don't have to wash it.
4 cups chicken broth
2 tsp. cumin
garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
1 cup of frozen corn defrosted (so it won't make the soup cold)

Combine chicken, salsa, chicken broth and spices in crockpot.  Cook on high for 5-6 hours.  Halfway through cooking add beans, this is so they don't fall apart.  When done cooking shred chicken and add corn.  We served it with sour cream and cheddar cheese.  Would also be good with pico de gallo and chips.
