- Remove stems and seeds from dried chilis, and place then in a pot with 1/3 of the chicken broth. Cover and bring to a boil; simmer for 5 minutes until softened.
- Using a blender or immersion blender, blend chilis with broth they were simmered in and set aside.
- Heat half the oil in large pot. Add the chicken and sauté on high heat for 5 minutes. Season with cumin, paprika, salt and pepper as it cooks. Remove and set aside.
