I kept this recipe mild for my 5 year old, but you could chop up a jalapeño or serrano and throw it in there for chili heat and flavor.

I like to serve it with:

Which you can get started after you set the stew to simmer.

Steps

1

Layer the chicken thighs on the bottom of your pot (4 to 5 quart pot should do)
2

Sprinkle salt evenly over chicken.
3

Throw all the other ingredients in.
4

Cover and turn heat on to medium, cooking for 30 minutes total, stirring occasionally. If it gets a little too bubbly in there and solids are starting to stick to the bottom, just turn the heat down a tad.
5

Looks like this after the 30 mins. This is when you'd want to adjust seasonings, if needed.
Turn heat down to low and cook, lid askew, for another 10 minutes.
6

Sprinkle with cilantro and green onions. That's it!

Enjoy. :)
