Tender Braised Chicken in Green Chili Sauce – A Flavorful and Hearty Dish

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Once browned, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Green Chili Sauce

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened and fragrant.
Add the green chilies, chicken broth, green salsa, cumin, paprika, oregano, and turmeric. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper to your preference.
Step 3: Braise the Chicken

Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce.
Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the chicken braise for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Step 4: Serve and Garnish

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the sauce and place it on a serving dish.
Spoon the green chili sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
