Ingredients
-
½ ounce dried ancho chiles (about 1 1/2 peppers)
-
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
-
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
-
¾ teaspoon fennel seeds
-
¾ teaspoon whole black peppercorns
-
1 ½ tablespoons grated lime zest
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
-
Stem, seed and chop chiles. Transfer the peppers to a large cast-iron skillet with coriander, cumin, fennel seeds and peppercorns and cook over medium-high heat, shaking frequently so they don't burn, until fragrant, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Add lime zest and salt, then grind into a coarse powder. Rub the spice mixture on chicken.
-
Heat oil in the pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165°F, about 8 minutes.
Equipment:
Spice grinder or mortar & pestle

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
