Instructions
- 1
Position an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler element and preheat the broiler to high. Place the poblano peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil, turning with tongs every 3–4 minutes, until the skins are charred and blistered on all sides, about 10–12 minutes total. Transfer to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the charred skins, remove the stems and seeds, and dice the flesh. Set aside.

Pat the chicken thighs dry and season all over with 1/2 tsp of the salt and the black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of the avocado oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 4–5 minutes, until the underside is golden and releases easily from the pot. Flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a plate — the chicken will not be fully cooked through at this point.
