Ingredients
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 cup cubed sweet potatoes14.5 oz can black beans14.5 oz can diced tomatoes1 cup chicken stock1/2T Jerk seasoning1 small banana, mashed (about 1/4c)1 Bag baby spinach (8 cups)------------------Marinate ingredients:1 T jerk seasoningDiced onions and peppers*Rub chicken with seasoning, onions and peppers, marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours
Directions
Brown chicken in a skillet on both sides, then chop into bite size pieces (will still be raw inside)

Microwave sweet potatoes (~ 3 mins) to make them easier to chop.

Additionally I added a 1/4 tbsp of jerk seasoning to the crock pot.(this is a paste imported from Jamaica by the company GRACE, you can usually find it at ethnic food stores, I live in the city so it's a little easier for me)

Add all items to the crock pot - I did not drain the beans, but you could and it would be thicker.

Cook 4 hrs on high, or longer on low

    This recipe is delicious! I normally hate chili but this one hit the spot. I added more spice to mine with some Tobasco sauce - 1/4/10
