This site has a ton of recipies.  I'm pasting another we love below.  The original recipe did not have chicken in it.  But the reviews said it was good with it. I find the chicken does OK since it surrounded by so much liquid.

A few things I've learned about using a crock pot in the last couple of years.

1.  Chicken Breast CAN be overcooked in a crock, it needs lots of liquid to not dry out, so you need the crock with a timer.  Chicken with more fat (whole chicken, skinless thighs), can be left on all day and get more tender as it cooks.
2.  A crock with a timer is worth the money.  So is a good crock.  I found that the cheap ones have a crappy "low" setting.  Even if they work at first, they break within a year and everything gets boiled/overcooked.  
3.  How full the crock is changes how it cooks.  You want it about 3/4 full.  I have 2 size crockpots, but you could also adjust the recipe.

White Chili – Crockpot Recipe

•	16 oz bag of frozen white corn 
•	2 cans of White Beans
•	¾ to 1 pound chicken breast cut up (can be omitted) 
•	1-  4 oz can of green chilies 
•	1/2 chopped white onion 
•	2 minced cloves garlic 
•	1 cup chicken broth
•	1 TBS lemon juice 
•	1 1/2 t cumin 
•	1/2 t Italian seasoning 
•	salt and pepper to taste 
•	mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese (optional)

Put everything in crockpot (no need to drain beans or chilis).  Cook on low for 7-8 hours, or high for 4-6.
