BUSH'S Winter White Bean Chili

I made this the other night. It was good- a little spicy (depending on the Salsa Verde that you get).

2 (15.8 ounce) cans BUSH’S® Great Northern Beans, with liquid
1 tablespoon chopped oregano
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Salt and black pepper to taste
Shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, to taste
Green salsa verde, to taste

3. Add zucchini, rice, chicken stock, chiles, cumin, and beans.
4. Cook in 4-quart slow cooker on high setting for 4 hours or until vegetables and chicken are tender.
