## 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
|
|
- 1 tsp oregano
|
|

|
|
- 3 cups white rice

|
|
|
## Directions
|
|
1. Rough chop the onion. Dice a little bit and set aside for a garnish.
|
|
2. Add the chicken, 1/3 of the chopped onion, 1/3 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, tomatillos, and the rest of the garlic and chopped onion in about 2 tsp of oil. Stir the pan intermittently until the veggies are softened and seared, about 15 minutes.
|
|
5. Set aside the seared veggies. Cook the rice by your preferred method.
|
|
6. When the chicken is done simmering, 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.
