This aromatic cumin and ancho chicken is a vibrant addition to any healthy meal plan. Combining the deep, smoky heat of ancho chilli powder with the earthy warmth of ground cumin, this diabetes-friendly dish prioritises bold seasoning over sugar or heavy fats. By using boneless chicken thighs, the meat remains succulent and tender throughout the high-heat searing process, resulting in a protein-rich main that feels truly indulgent.
Perfect for batch cooking or a quick weeknight dinner, this versatile chicken can be served in a variety of ways. Enjoy it alongside a crisp green salad, folded into wholemeal wraps, or served with a portion of brown rice for a balanced, low-glycaemic meal. It is also an excellent make-ahead option, as the spices continue to develop in flavour if prepared a day in advance.

Ingredients for Cumin and Ancho Chicken

Vegetable oil (for frying)

How to make Cumin and Ancho Chicken
Toss chicken with ancho chilli powder, cumin, and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl to coat. Cover and chill for 2 hours. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with a thin layer of oil. Working in batches, place thighs in skillet in a single layer (do not crowd). Cover and cook until a crust forms, about 5 minutes. Turn; cook, uncovered, until thighs are just cooked through, 3-4 minutes longer. Transfer to a platter; let rest for 5 minutes.
Cut chicken into 1/2" cubes. Transfer with any accumulated juices to a medium bowl. Season with salt. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Let cool slightly. Cover; chill. Rewarm before serving.
