Mix the cumin, oregano, salt, and paprika in a small bowl.
Mixing the spices evenly ensures a consistent flavor throughout the dish.
Rub the spice mix onto the chicken thighs, covering all sides.
Let the chicken sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to get a good sear.
Place the chicken thighs in the skillet and cook for 5 minutes on each side until browned.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Pour the tomato sauce over the chicken and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Stir the sauce gently to coat the chicken evenly.
Cover the skillet and simmer for 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it's fully cooked.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with lime wedges.
Squeeze lime juice over the chicken just before serving for a fresh burst of flavor.
