Just made this last night. Sounds like a lot of ingredients, but easy to make & delicious:

Latin chicken & blackbeans w/sweet potatoes

3 lbs. bone in chicken thighs w/skin removed
2 15oz. cans blackbeans drained & rinsed
2 lbs. sweet potatoes peeled & cut in 2 in. cubes
3 cloves garlic minced
1 red bell pepper chopped
cilantro
1/2 c. salsa
1 c. chicken broth
lime wedges
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. ground allspice

Sprinkle chicken thighs w/ 1/2 tsp. cumin (or to your taste), salt & pepper. Cook in hot skillet until brown on both sides (approx. 5 mins per side). Place chicken on plate. In same skillet, combine salsa, chicken broth, remaining cumin, paprika & allspice (do not heat). Place sweet potatoes, red pepper & blackbeans in crockpot, layer chicken on top, & cover w/sauce. Cook on low for 8 hours. Sprinkle w/cilantro & serve w/lime wedges. Makes 6 servings.

You'll love it. It seems like it would be very healthy too, although I don't have the nutrition facts. Even my boyfriend really liked it. Enjoy!
