Spicy Crockpot Beans

I hadn't used my crockpot in far too long, and since Joe was post-call and asleep, I thought this would be a good meal to let cook while I did some studying. Next time, if I'm using chicken, I might throw in another chipotle en adobo. Both Joe and I could've used a little more heat. I added about a pound of chicken and shredded it at the end since Joe likes his meat, but this is originally a meatless meal. I opted for serving it in bowls with cornbread instead of over rice.
