Start by seasoning the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar to create a flavorful marinade.
Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the crockpot and pour the honey garlic mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated.
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes, then add them to the crockpot around the chicken.
Sprinkle the dried thyme and smoked paprika over the sweet potatoes for an extra layer of flavor. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the chicken is tender and the sweet potatoes are soft.
About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the fresh spinach, allowing it to wilt into the dish. Once cooked, serve the chicken and sweet potatoes in bowls, drizzling the sauce from the crockpot over the top.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Enjoy this soul-warming dish with crusty bread or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.
