13. 3 tbsp tomato paste

Directions

1. In a large skillet, add olive oil and sear your chicken thighs on both sides over medium heat.

2. Once your chicken has a nice crispy crust, remove and place in a large pot over medium heat.

3. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cinnamon.

4. Add lime juice, zest, harissa, chipotle peppers, tomato paste, adobo sauce, and garlic cloves. Stir until combined.

5. Pour your chicken broth, and ensure enough to cover the chicken.

6. Add your sage leaves and cover your pot.
