Increase the heat to medium-high and add the boneless chicken thighs. Brown the chicken on both sides, then reduce the heat to simmer. Stir in the Mexican spice mix, tomato passata, and tomato paste, combining well. Allow to simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove the chicken to shred or chop, then set aside.

Very delicious meal! I had the meal for 1 and used the entire onion, as well as added a full red pepper to the chicken pan. No need to mix the sauce and mexican mix in a separate bowl, just mix it all together in the pan. The recipe also didn't include how much water so I just guessed. It turned out great! Would order again!
