Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

2

Sauté Vegetables

In the same skillet, add chopped onion and sliced bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

3

Combine Ingredients

Return the browned chicken to the skillet. Add canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

4

Slow Cook

Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low. Let it cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and tender.

5

Shred the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and mix well with the sauce.

6

Finish with Lime

Stir in lime juice and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm.
