If you don't have any sweet potatoes on hand, you can substitute another type of root vegetable, such as carrots or parsnips.
Black beans can be replaced with another type of bean, such as kidney beans or pinto beans.
If you're short on time, you can cook the chicken and sweet potatoes separately in a skillet or in the oven, then combine them with the black beans and sauce in the slow cooker for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Serve the chicken and sweet potatoes over rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
