Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs with paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon. Rub the spices into the chicken thoroughly and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until they are translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add minced garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the marinated chicken thighs to the skillet and sear them until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.

  2. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Once the chicken is seared, add the diced tomatoes and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

  3. 5

    Simmer

    Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Let the chicken simmer for about 30 minutes, or until fully cooked and tender.

  4. 6

    Finish with Cilantro

    Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the chopped cilantro and allow to cook for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
