Member Recipe: Mexican-inspired Chicken
Posted by: harborblvd

Ingredients:
  • 4–5 cups of water (I also use chicken stock)
  • 8–10 tomatillos
  • 8–10 cloves of garlic
  • 2 onions, chunked
  • 4–6 chicken breasts
  • 5 chili peppers (look like jalapeños, but longer and skinnier. If you can't find these, use 2 jalapeños)
  • salt and pepper
Directions:
Boil all of the ingredients in a large pot until everything is soft. Remove chicken and set on a plate. Dump everything else in a blender and puree. Add liquid back to pot, cut chicken into large chunks and throw back in pot. Boil for about 10 minutes. Add one can of rinsed and drained black beans.

It should be like soup when you're done. We used to eat it with rice and tortillas. Tonight we had it with some whole-wheat tortillas on the side.
