I made this for Sunday dinner last night. Since we have church at 1:00, I like to try to do something in a crock pot for dinner so it is ready right when we come home. This is one of my favorite slow cooker recipes. The chipotle peppers make it spicy, but if you don't have these, you can use medium/hot salsa.
* 3 lbs bone-in skinless chicken thighs
* 2 teaspoons ground cumin
* salt
* pepper
* 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, or 1-2 Tbs. chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
* 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
* 1 cup water
* 1 Tbs. chicken base
* 1/2 - 1 cup salsa
* 3 large garlic cloves, pressed
* 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed
* 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size chunks
* 1 cup chopped peppers (red, yellow or green)
* 1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Directions:
Prep Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 4 1/4 hrs
1. Put beans,sweet potatoes, and peppers in slow-cooker.
2. Place chicken on bean mixture.
3. In bowl, mix broth with spices, salsa, and cilantro.

6. Serve over brown rice.
(I found this recipe at www.food.com/recipe/slow-cooker-latin-chicken-w-sweet-potatoes-and-black-beans-253599#ixzz1FHDs7TDY and made a few changes to it.)
