Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken and Black Bean Chili

I found this here on sweet treats, and as I work a little more I'm trying to gather different crock pot recipes.  It was really easy to throw together, and good to use up some more chipotles I had.  We had extra rice in the fridge so we served the chile over the rice.  Delicious.

serves 6-8

2-3 whole, boneless skinless chicken breasts (or 4-6 chicken tenders)
2 (15 oz) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
2 (14 1/2 oz) cans diced tomatoes with green chiles, un-drained
1 medium green pepper, chopped
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
2 tbs of the adobo sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbs cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Optional for garnishing: mozzarella or Monterrey jack cheese, sour cream, cilantro, lime wedges. 

Place everything, aside from the chicken in a 4qt slow cooker and stir to combine.  Lay chicken over the top and push down a little to cover with sauce.  Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until chicken is cooked and tender, or cook on high for 3-4 hours.
