Ingredients

1 1/2 cups chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 large onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 pounds butternut squash, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons hot paprika

Directions

1 Mix cilantro, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Coat chicken thighs with spice mixture.
2 Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, onion, and garlic; cook until chicken is browned, 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Add squash, tomatoes, chicken broth, and paprika. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and let simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and squash is tender, about 25 minutes.
