Slow Cooker Quinoa Chicken Chili

1 cup of quinoa, rinsed
1 14 oz can of petite diced tomato
1 small can green chilies
1 can black beans-drained
1 can pinto beans-drained
1 can corn-drained
4 c. chicken stock
2 large chicken breast
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. crushed red pepper
(can reduce if worried about heat)
2 tsp. chili powder

Put all ingredients into a crock pot
 and cook on low for 6 hours. 
Can cook on high for 4 hours.
But with this I think slow and low is better. 

Top with sour cream or plain yogurt, cheese
avacado and cliantro.

Amazing flavor, healthy and easy!
