Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drizzle in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and let it warm for about 1-2 minutes.
- Add diced onion into the pan and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Sprinkle in the ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in lime juice and tomato sauce, seasoning with salt and pepper. Let it simmer gently, allowing the sauce to thicken.
- Submerge the chicken breasts in the sauce, cover, and let cook for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return it to the skillet and toss in the sauce until well-coated.
- Allow everything to simmer together for an additional 5-10 minutes over low heat before serving.

Notes
For juicier meat, consider using chicken thighs instead of breasts. Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
