Add quinoa (and package recommended amount of water, usually double) to a slow cooker.

Add in the beans and corn (drained and rinsed). Let cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours. Add the jar of salsa and mix well.

Let cook for an additional 1 hour on low or ½ hour on high. Right before serving, mix in the cheese and chicken (precooked or roasted and chopped or shredded).
