CHICKEN CHILE VERDE
During culinary school I worked at a Mexican restaurant in Saranac Lake, NY, called Casa Del Sol. My favorite dish was the Chile Verde. In this version I simmer large chunks of chicken slowly in an exotic green sauce of tomatillos and chilies.

Steps:
- Start off by seasoning your chicken on both sides with half of the salt and pepper. If your using bone in chicken cut off skin before seasoning your chicken. Fill a pot with the water and start to boil.
- Pour Oil into a frying pan and start browning chicken on both sides about 4 minute on each side. You might want to fry only 4 or 5 at a time for an even color. Remember you not cooking the chicken all the way just browning.
- The pot of water should be boiling at this time, put the tomatillos and jalapenos into the boiling water and boil 12-15 minutes.
- While the tomatillos and jalapenos are boiling finish browning all of the chicken.
- Once the tomatillos and jalapenos are ready drain the water and put the tomatillos, jalapenos, cilantro, garlic, and the chicken broth into a blender and start pulsing until all the ingredients are all mixed and then blend for 30-40 seconds. Once blended leave in blender until needed.
- Pour the remaining oil in a pot (pot should be a good size one you would use for soups) and start frying the onion on med-high heat. After about two minutes put the rest of the salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper and fry for an additional 5 minutes, add the browned chicken and pour the tomatillo mixture and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Take out the chicken with tongs and put in to a bowl and start shredding. Once chicken is shredded place back into pot and simmer for another 20 minutes.
- Note: You do not need to do the last step if you are using boneless chicken just simmer until chicken in fork tender and stir it and the chicken should fall apart. I like to use bone in chicken because I feel it has more falvor than boneless chicken.
Tips:
- Sear the chicken in batches: This will prevent the chicken from steaming and ensure that it gets a nice golden brown crust.
- Use a variety of chiles: This will give the chile verde a complex and flavorful flavor. Some good options include poblano peppers, Anaheim peppers, and serrano peppers.
- Roast the chiles before blending: This will help to bring out their flavor and make them easier to blend.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is an important part of the chile verde, so it's important to use a good quality broth. If you don't have any homemade broth on hand, you can use a store-bought broth, but be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
- Simmer the chile verde for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the chile verde with your favorite toppings: Some good options include sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and lime wedges.
Conclusion:
Chile verde is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and flavorful chile verde that your family and friends will love.
