Cut chicken breast into one-inch cubes and wash with lime juice and water, then drain.

In a bowl, combine chicken with salt, cilantro, scallions, habanero pepper (with seeds), thyme, and black pepper; stir well and marinate for about 30 minutes.

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat.

Chop garlic and onion into small pieces; add to the hot oil and sweat for 4-5 minutes until golden and fragrant.

Add the ground roasted cumin to the pan and toast for about 2-3 minutes on low heat until fragrant.

Add the marinated chicken (with marinade) to the pan, stir, and cover; cook for about 15 minutes.

After 4-5 minutes, stir the chicken and reduce heat to a gentle simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the chicken to release its juices.

After 12 minutes of cooking, turn up the heat to high to burn off the liquid for about 3 minutes until no liquid remains; turn off the heat.
