1 cup dried navy beans ((see notes below about using canned))
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 pounds boneless, skinkess chicken breasts ((About 2 large or 3 small))
2 small sweet onions
1 celery rib
2 garlic cloves

Steps:

Rinse and sort the navy beans (removing any small rocks, etc.) Place into the bottom of a 6-quart crock pot.
In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat and brown the chicken on both sides. Place chicken on top of the navy beans in the slow cooker.

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, oregano and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Stir in the jalapeños and stock and bring to a boil.
Pour mixture into the crock pot on top of the chicken.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours.
Remove chicken from crock pot and shred then add the cilantro and serve.
