Juicy, tender chicken simmered in a flavorful broth with fresh cilantro, tomatoes, and warm spices—all in ONE pot! Perfect for meal prep, beginner-friendly, and ridiculously delicious.
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the chicken thighs in the pot, skin-side down, and sear for 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the diced onions, tomato, cilantro, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to the pot.
Pour in the water and stir to ensure the chicken is submerged in the broth.
Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low-medium, and let it simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is fork-tender.
Serve with rice or warm tortillas. You can also shred the chicken and use it for tacos or burrito bowls!
