Instructions

For the relish, combine vinegar and sugar in a nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil over a high heat. Cook until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Place the peppers in a small bowl. Pour the pickling liquid over the peppers and toss to coat. Add 1 or 2 ice cubes and let sit for 20 minutes, occasionally stirring.
Strain the peppers and place into a medium bowl. Stir in the dates, cashews, lime juice, olive oil, microgreens, and season with salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
For the chicken thighs, mix together paprika, turmeric, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice rub onto one side of the chicken thighs.
Heat canola oil in an oven-proof sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, spice side down, and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until the meat is cooked through or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
Transfer chicken thighs to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, cut into slices. Squeeze fresh lime juice on top of the chicken and set aside.
Put the radicchio leaves on a large serving plate. Divide the chicken between each radicchio lettuce cup. Top with some of the pickled pepper relish, garnish with more microgreens, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
