1 Prepare the Ingredients
Halve lime. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.
Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.Pat chicken thighs dry and season all over with half the buttermilk-dill seasoning (reserve remaining for crema). Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor. -

Add chicken and white portions of green onions to hot pan. Stir occasionally until chicken is lightly browned and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.Reduce heat to medium. Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil. Wipe pan clean and keep over medium heat.Add 2 tsp. olive oil, poblanos (to taste), corn, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Kids not a fan of extra heat? Feel free to skip/reduce the poblanos. Stir occasionally until poblanos are bright green and tender, 2-3 minutes.Remove from burner.While chicken and vegetables cook, continue recipe. -
