Slow Cooker Latin Chicken

Adapted from Allrecipes

I love crock pot meals and especially enjoyed the sweet potatoes in this dish!

Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon olive oil
3 pounds skinless chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper 1/4 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
2 large sweet potatoes, cut into chunks
1 green pepper, cut into strips
2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
1 cup salsa
2 teaspoons cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
3 large cloves garlic, chopped
lime wedges, for garnish

Directions:

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet; season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cilantro over the chicken thighs; brown the chicken in the frying pan, 3 to 5 minutes each side. Arrange the chicken in the bottom of a slow cooker. Place the sweet potatoes, green pepper, and black beans on top of the chicken. Combine the chicken broth, 1/4 cup cilantro leaves, salsa, cumin, allspice, and garlic together in a bowl; pour into the slow cooker. Cook on Low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Garnish with lime wedges to serve.
