Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken thighs boneless and skinless
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup yellow bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper, cooking for another minute to toast the spices.
  4. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, browning them on both sides for about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced yellow bell pepper. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  6. Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet, stirring to combine with the sauce.
  7. Stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice just before serving.
