Up until I tried this recipe at a Christmas dinner, I didn’t think I loved asparagus. Nowadays, when I mention it will be on the menu, everyone oohs and aahs. I cook it for any special event.

Love it! So easy! So tasty! Will make over and over again! I had a bigger bag of shredded chicken, that was my only change.
I made this recipe on the stovetop and did a fiesta blend cheese instead of pepperjack cheese and the family gobbled it up. Even my 8 year old picky eater who was complaining the whole time I prepared it, ate her whole bowl. It was so easy and a hit with the family!
I always try a recipe as written first. As written, this is wonderful! Thank you so much. It just doesn’t get any easier to make. It also makes a great base for trying variations. I’ll most definitely make it again!
Great taste and easy to make. Will definitely make this again.
It’s kind of hard to believe how easy this is. I was happy to find a recipe that would allow me to use up the bag of dried great northern beans my grandma sent home with me on my last visit. This recipe uses about 1/2 a bag of dried northern beans. I bought a 24 oz. jar of salsa. I just went ahead and used the entire thing since there was so little left over. I bought 12.5 oz. can of chicken breast and used it all, including the water it was packed in. It was a long process, making the beans from a bag – rinsing them off, soaking them for 8 hours, quick rinse again, and then boiling them for one hour. The entire process beginning to end using dry beans is 13 1/2-14 hours. Whether you use the jar or dried beans though, it’s all mostly hands-off prep, which is great for busy people. I like to smash some of the beans before putting them in the crock pot too. Thickens the texture a bit. This was my second time making it. The first time making it, I cooked some chicken breast I had. I say save your chicken for a chicken main dish and just buy the canned stuff. Tastes the same and saves work. Now that I’ve used up Grandma’s dry beans, I will try the jar beans and make it even easier.
This is a great basic recipe. I’m a vegetarian, so we make it using TVP (textured vegetable protein) or meatless chicken. It’s so easy and gets a lot of flavor from the salsa. I add some Tabasco to turn up the heat a little. Delicious with corn chips as well! I’ve gotten many compliments.
This is so easy! I’ve made this several times, my kids even like it!
Easy easy but tasted like i slaved all evening! Won chili cookoff and now i get requests to make all the time….
Big hit – Very well liked and so so easy!
This was super good. My two year old even licked her bowl she is such a picky eater. Next time I will make a bunch to freeze. Super easy for this Mother of 4 .
We do slow cooker lunches at work and this is quite possibly everyone’s favorite! I also made it at home and my family always talks about it! Great easy, fast and delicious!
Used a pound package of dried great northern white beans instead of canned. Cooked two frozen boneless chicken breast halves with the beans on the stove and cut them up after cooking. Added salsa, pepper jack cheese and salt to taste. Very good and simple to make in about half the time of using a slow cooker.
Followed the recipe except for slow cooker. It was ready in 1/2 Hr.
Delicious soup. I make this recipe, but my version does not have the pepperjack cheese added. I made a half batch of this using the cheese and the half without the cheese. Adding the cheese made this version a lot thicker and added more calories. But, once in a while, that is ok. This is a delicious recipe and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I served this with ‘Winter Fruit Salad with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing’ from AR.
So easy and so good!! Only thing I did differently was use chicken from a rotisserie chicken instead of canned chicken!
You can’t beat the simplicity of this recipe! A lot of flavor in just 4 ingredients. Quick,easy and delicious! I, as some other reviewers, used BLSL chicken breast and just cooked the whole thing in a pot on my stove after baking the chicken. Can’t wait to make this again!
I decided to make this for a potluck at work in a few weeks but had some chicken in the fridge I needed to cook so I thought I’d make a test batch to see if I would need to add anything and I have to say this recipe is great as is!!! I used 3 15oz cans of beans, 1 undrained, 1 half drained and 1 completely drained and a jar of salsa verde. The recipe came out fantastic and I can’t wait to hear every one at work rave about this!
Easy and delicious. I thought the recipe called for a tad too much cheese so I used 1/4 pound and it was still fantastic!
My Mom always made this and even with its super small ingredient list I always forget exactly how to make it. She add’s a little cumin to hers and its so delicious! Not to mention ridiculously easy!
Used 1 can great northern beans, 1 can corn, 8oz pepper jack, can of chicken, and most of a jar of mango peach salsa. Let sit in the crock pot all afternoon on low and it was DELICIOUS! Great with tortilla chips or just some torn up tortillas. The mango peach salsa made it sweet but still had a little kick
For how easy it is, should be 6 stars. Use fresh boiled and shredded chicken instead. Canned chicken is always pretty gross, no matter the recipe. Hubby loves it!
