Slow Cooker Latin Chicken W/ Sweet Potatoes and Black Beans image

From Good Housekeeping magazine. I am cooking it right now, so I haven't tried it, but it sounds so good! I substituted chicken breasts for the thighs and 1/2 tsp of chipotles in adobo for the paprika.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the chicken with tofu. It turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but I loved this recipe. The chicken was so flavorful and the black beans added a nice protein boost.

This was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
