Quatro Frijoles con Pollo Cantaro--slow cooker

Again I found this recipe and can't give credit for it but I recently tried it and like it. I would add jalapeno peppers to the recipe to give it a little kick. I would also use pork rather than chicken.

1 c. pitted black olives
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
1 16 oz. garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 16 oz. can Great Northern or navy beans, rinsed and drained
1 15 oz. can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 16 oz. can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 c. chicken stock, plus extra as needed
1 Tbsp. olive or canola oil
1 c. onion, minced
2 tsp. garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
hot sauce to taste
2 c. crushed corn chips
6 oz. Monterey Jack cheese, grated
(small jalapeno seeded and minced finely, optional)

Combine olives, chicken, beans, chilies, and chicken stock in slow cooker. Mix well and set aside. Heat oil in large skillet, over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic, and cumin until onion is soft. Add to the chicken mixture. Cover, cook on low 4-5 hours. check liquid about halfway through, adding more hot broth as needed. Taste and add hot sauce, salt and pepper. Serve in warm bowls and garnish with corn chips and cheese.
