GREEN CHICKEN CHILI



Green Chicken Chili image

The green color in this chili comes from the combination of poblano and Anaheim peppers, along with tomatillos. This combination results in a fresh, light-flavored chili. To dress it up, serve it with crushed corn chips, a mild white cheese such as queso quesadilla, chopped fresh cilantro, and sour cream as garnishes.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor. If possible, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking rice in the Instant Pot, it's important to not overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly.
  • Use the right amount of liquid: The amount of liquid you use will depend on the type of rice you are cooking. Be sure to follow the recipe instructions carefully.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). You can check the temperature using a meat thermometer.
  • Season to taste: Once the dish is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices.
