In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
Add the chicken thighs to the pot and season with salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides (about 5 minutes).
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot and let cook for 15 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook through.
Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
Add the diced potatoes, corn, and green beans to the pot. Stir well and let cook for an additional 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the diced red bell pepper and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice as desired.
Once everything is cooked through, serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh cilantro.
