Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a Dutch Oven over medium heat. Add ⅓ of chicken, shaking any excess flour, then sear until golden brown on both sides for about 10 minutes. Transfer into a large bowl. Repeat this step to cook the remaining chicken pieces.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the same Dutch Oven. Add the onion, Poblano, Anaheim chilies, cumin, paprika and cook until tender for about 4 minutes
Add the chicken then pour in the salsa verde from step 1. Add oregano and a cinnamon stick and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer and stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens for about an hour. Season with salt/pepper as needed.
