Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 8 chicken thighs or chicken breasts, skinned
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp grated lime or lemon, rind
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup lime juice or lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch

Preparation

In large deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken, about 10 minutes. Transfer to plate.

Drain fat from pan; add remaining oil. Fry onion, garlic, lime rind, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 4 minutes.

Add stock and lime juice; bring to boil, scraping up brown bits. Return chicken and any juices to pan; cover and simmer until juices run clear when chicken is pierced, 15 minutes.

In bowl, whisk cornstarch with 2 tsp (10 mL) water; whisk into liquid around chicken and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes.
