Chicken Chili Verde

Ingredients

For 2 people ()

  • 2 tablespoon(s) Olive or Canola Oil
  • 4 Tomatillos
  • 1 Medium-Large Onion
  • 1 tablespoon(s) Recaito or Salsa Verde (optional)
  • 1 Medium Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 1 cup(s) Chicken Broth
  • 1 Canellini or Great Can(s) Northern White Beans
  • 2 tablespoon(s) Lime Juice
  • 2 teaspoon(s) Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon(s) Cumin
  • 1 tablespoon(s) Mexican Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon(s) Adobo

Directions

1. Heat oil in large pot. Add diced onion, tomatillos and jalapenos, salt liberally and saute until soft and aromatic. Add recaito or salsa verde if using.

2. Add diced chicken breast and saute, stirring regularly; add garlic, cumin, Adobo and oregano (crumble between fingers to release oils). When you can't see any pink in the chicken and it is completely cooked, add chicken broth and beans, stir to incorporate and cover.

3. Bring to boil, give it another stir and turn heat down to medium-low; let simmer 15-20 minutes, adjusting seasonings as needed.  Add lime juice as it's starting to thicken and stir in well.  You can toss in a few crumbled tortialla chips to help thicken the broth if you're impatine (or starving).

4. Serve with garnishes or fresh cilantro, crema or tortilla chips, if desired.
