Steps:
- Mix the olive oil (2 tablespoons), smoked paprika (1 tablespoon), ground coriander (1 teaspoon), ground cumin (1 teaspoon), garlic powder (1 teaspoon), kosher salt (1 teaspoon), black pepper (1/2 teaspoon), and lime juice and zest (from one lime) in a small bowl or glass measuring cup.
- Place the chicken thighs in a container, bowl, or large plastic bag. Pour the marinade on top (it will be thick) and or stir to coat each piece of chicken evenly (if in a bag, just smoosh it around until everything is evenly coated). Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or as long as 24 hours.
- Heat a large (12-inch) non-stick skillet over medium high heat (see notes for other skillets). Add marinated chicken; sear without moving on one side for 5-7 minutes (check that it's not burning after 2-3 minutes- you may want to turn the heat down to medium if you have very hot burners or flip it earlier if it's cooking fast).
- Once the seared side is browned and looking crispy, flip to other side and sear, until chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees F or meat is no longer pink (another 5-10 minutes, depending on thickness and size of chicken. Turn the heat down to medium or medium-low if both sides are seared but inside is not yet cooked the whole way). If you have a lid to your skillet, you can cover it to speed up the cooking time a bit.
- Remove chicken from skillet to a cutting board. Allow to rest for 5 minutes, then shred with two forks. Optional: for an extra punch of flavor, you can return the shredded chicken to the skillet to coat in the cooking juices.
- Serve with a squeeze of fresh lime juice garnished with fresh cilantro, if desired. Use in enchiladas, on tacos or burritos, in bowls, or on its own as a main course.

SHREDDED MEXICAN CHICKEN
This shredded Mexican chicken can be used for tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and tostadas. It's super simple and is probably the closest to authentic Mexican shredded chicken that I have experienced over the years.

Steps:
- Fill a 6- to 8-quart pot halfway with water.
- Wash and rinse chicken thighs and breasts thoroughly and place into the pot with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and simmer for 10 minutes. Shred chicken in the pot with 2 forks so it can absorb some of the moisture. Simmer until stock has reduced, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Mix 1/4 cup water and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Stir into the pot and cook until sauce is thick, about 10 minutes.
