2 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

|
4 Anaheim or poblano chile peppers, chopped (see Note)

1 tablespoon dried oregano, crushed

1 8-ounce can tomato sauce

1 4-ounce jar pimientos, rinsed

Note: Anaheim chiles (a.k.a. New Mexico chiles) are 7 to 10 inches long, ripen from green to red and are mildly spicy. Poblano peppers (sometimes called pasilla peppers) are dark green in color, about 6 inches long and can be fiery or relatively mild; there’s no way to tell until you taste them. The two can be used interchangeably and are found at most large supermarkets.
