Add the diced onion, minced garlic cloves, great Northern beans, green chiles, and corn.
Pour in the chicken stock or chicken broth.
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 7-8 hours.
At the end of the cooking time, remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker. Shred or dice the meat and return it to the pot.
