Begin by seasoning the chicken thighs with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Next, peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, ensuring even cooking.
In the crock pot, layer the seasoned chicken thighs at the bottom. Add the diced sweet potatoes on top of the chicken, followed by the drained black beans.
Pour the diced tomatoes with green chilies over the entire mixture, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Drizzle the olive oil over the top for added richness. Cover the crock pot and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Once done, shred the chicken directly in the pot using two forks, mixing it with the sweet potatoes and beans.
Serve the dish hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for a zesty finish. Enjoy your flavorful and budget-friendly meal!
