Chicken Verde

Eatwell Farmhouse Kitchen

This is another one of those recipes that has rather loose quantities.  It is really simple.

Tomatillos

1 Onion, quartered

2 cloves Garlic, crushed

Water or some Eatwell Chicken Stock to cook the Tomatillos, Onion and Garlic 

2 lb boneless/skinless Chicken meat, chopped into bite sized chunks

Oil

1 tsp Coriander powder

1 tsp Cumin powder

Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes

2 tsp Eatwell Smoked Chili Salt

Take the outer paper-like skin off the tomatillos and give them a quick rinse.  Put them into a pot with the onion and garlic and cover with water Or a combo of water and stock.  Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until tomatillos and onion are tender.  Carefully put the tomatillos, onion and garlic into a blender and puree.  Add some of the cooking water to get it to the thickness you like.  In a skillet heat enough oil to cook the chicken.  When it is nearly browned, add the spices and salt, and cook a couple of minutes longer.  Pour over the tomatillo sauce and simmer on low for at least 10 minutes.  Serve with tortillas, avocado and grilled summer squash*. 

*I have a grill pan and love to cook my summer squash in it.  I slice them lengthwise, rather thin, heat the pan with some good oil and put them in hot.  I make sure to leave a tiny bit of space between them. I don't want them overlapping. Cook them long enough to get some grill marks, then flip them over and cook on the other side.  Sprinkle with your favorite Eatwell Farm Salt.
