Prepare to make Belize Chimole by gathering ingredients including boneless skinless chicken thighs, black ricardo sauce, kosher salt, black pepper, thyme, cumin, bay leaf, onion, red bell pepper, garlic, Roma tomatoes, water, an egg, and ground pork.

Decide whether to use a brazer or a Dutch oven for cooking.

Brown the boneless skinless chicken thighs in a bit of oil until they are cooked through and have a nice color.

Prepare the pork meatballs by mixing ground pork with a hard-boiled egg and seasonings.

Dice half of the onion and half of the red bell pepper, and chop the garlic and Roma tomatoes.

Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, garlic, and tomatoes into the pot with the chicken.

Pour in the black ricardo sauce and enough water to submerge the ingredients.

Season the mixture with thyme, cumin, bay leaf, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Simmer the dish until all flavors meld together and the chicken is tender.
