Instructions: How to Cook Ancho Chili With Chicken

1. Start by rehydrating the ancho chilies. Remove the stems and seeds from the chilies, then place them in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for about 15 minutes until they are soft.
2. While the chilies are soaking, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika.

4. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
5. Remove the rehydrated ancho chilies from the water and chop them finely. Add them to the skillet with the onions and garlic.
6. Add the diced tomatoes and chicken broth to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
7. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
8. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Serve the ancho chili chicken hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
