- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced

- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- to taste salt and black pepper

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, oregano, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 4 minutes until lightly browned.
- Stir in the roasted green chiles, diced potatoes, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the stew is too thick, add more broth to thin it out. If it's too thin, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes.
- Serve the stew in bowls, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for added freshness.
