Chicken simmered in zesty tomatillo-chile sauce for a tasty twist on Mexican chile verde.
Ingredients:
  • 1 whole chicken, cut into 6 pieces
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 8 tomatillos, husked and quartered
  • 2 fresh jalapeno peppers, chopped
  • 0.5 bunch cilantro
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1.5 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 0.5 cup sour cream, for garnish
Instructions:
  • Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and black pepper, making sure to coat all sides evenly.
  • Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling. Brown chicken pieces in batches for about 15 minutes, ensuring all sides are golden. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Blend tomatillos, jalapeno peppers, garlic, cilantro, and chicken stock until velvety smooth. Reserve for later use.
  • In a Dutch oven over medium-low heat, warm 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent for about 10 minutes. Stir in cumin, oregano, and bay leaf and cook for 1 minute.
  • Place the chicken on top of the onion mixture in the Dutch oven and then pour in the tomatillo mixture. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the meat is tender and falls off the bone, approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Allow the potatoes to simmer without a lid until they can be easily pierced with a fork, approximately 35 minutes.
  • Season generously with salt and pepper, then top with a dollop of creamy sour cream before serving.
