+date: 2025-07-01
+---
+Serves six. Prep 20 minutes, cooking time about 1h. Mildly spicy. Requires an immersion blender or kitchen blender.
+
+## Ingredients
+- 1-3 jalapeño peppers
+- 1 Anaheim or Cubanelle pepper
+- 6 tomatillos
+- 2 large chicken breasts
+- 1 large white onion
+- 1 head of garlic
+- 3 cups chicken stock
+- 2 tsp neutral oil
+- Salt
+- Pepper
+- 1 lime
+- 1tsp oregano
+- Fresh cilantro, optional
+- 3 cups white rice
+
+## Directions
+1. Rough chop the onion. Dice a little bit and set aside for a garnish.
+2. Add the chicken, 1/2 of the chopped onion, half of the garlic, and the chicken broth to a small pot. Boil, then simmer covered for 45 minutes.
+3. While that cooks, deseed the peppers.
+4. In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, sear the peppers, garlic, tomatillos, and the rest of the chopped onion in about 2 tsp of oil. Keep things moving in the pan enough to soften and sear the peppers and onion.
+5. Set aside the seared veggies. Cook the rice by your preferred method.
+6. When the chicken is done, remove the breasts and add the broth, onions, etc to the veggies.
+7. Add to the mixture half the lime juice, and salt, pepper, oregano, and cilantro.
+8. Blend until very smooth.
+9. Shred the chicken breasts with forks and add to the mixture.
+10. Heat the mixture, covered, over medium heat for 15 minutes.
+11. Serve over rice and garnish with diced onion and lime juice.
+
+## Notes
+You can use jarred minced garlic instead of fresh, just delay adding it when you char the veggies because it will burn easily.
