Green Chicken
Ingredients
- 4 Skin-On Chicken Thighs
- 10 Tomatillos
- 2 cup Chicken Broth
- 1 tablespoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 Jalapeno
Directions
- Pre-prep
- - Slice jalapenos length-wise down the middle, and remove seeds
- - Finely dice jalapenos using a chopper or a knife
- - Peal and wash the tomatillos and slice them in halves or quarters
- - Sprinkle salt on each side of the chicken
- Heat up a sturdy pot (like a Le Creuset or stainless steel) over medium high heat
- Brown the chicken thighs, skin side down first, on each side for about 4 minutes each.
- Remove the chicken from the pot, and leaving the rendered fat in the pot
- Saute the jalapenos in the same pot for about 3 minutes
- Add chicken broth and the tomatillos into the pot and let simmer for 15 minutes (with lid on pot)
- Using a masher or a submersible blender, break down the tomatillos into more of a sauce (Note: if using a submersible blender, tilt the pot to ensure you don't splatter hot sauce on yourself, OUCH!)
- Now put the chicken back into the pot, put on lid, and simmer on medium/low heat for 30 minutes (should be a slow boil)
- When serving, finely chop a healthy handful of cilantro and sprinkle over the chicken and sauce
- Enjoy!
