1. Prepare the Chicken
In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and sear on both sides until golden brown. Remove from the pot and set aside.

Return the chicken to the pot, along with the chicken broth, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
5. Cook the Chicken
Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Remove the chicken from the pot, shred it using two forks, and return it to the pot. Stir to combine with the sauce.
7. Final Seasoning
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm.
