Entomado De Pollo (Tomatillos and Chicken) image

This is a delicious recipe I found on a blog. Traditionally, the meat is beef or pork, but this recipe uses chicken. Tomatillos look like green tomatoes, but with a husk on the outside. They range from the size of a cherry tomato to the size of a clementine. You want to buy tomatillos that are firm to the touch, bright green, with the husk still close to the tomatillo. Prep time is inactive.

Time 2h35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 chicken thighs
1 lemon
salt
pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 white onion, diced
1 tablespoon garlic clove, chopped
1 lb tomatillo, dehusked and chopped
2 chipotle peppers (or more if you want more heat!)
1 tablespoon Mexican oregano

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken thighs on both sides with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Marinate in fridge for about 2 hours.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté garlic and onion.
  • Add chicken, skin side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until light brown. Turn over and cook 4-5 more minutes.
  • If you must, drain the juice, but I highly recommend you don't so you keep the flavor. Add the tomatillos, peppers, and oregano. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Season with additional salt and pepper if desired, and serve.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some rotisserie chicken and it turned out great!

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices.
