  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ¼ of a large white onion
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • Salsa-
  • 1lb fresh tomatillos (husks removed)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan add chicken breasts, pour chicken broth into the pan, add ¼ white onion, 1 garlic clove, and 2 teaspoons of salt.
  2. Bring to a boil, boil for 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove chickens breasts from the pan but reserve chicken broth. Set chicken aside to cool. Discard onion and garlic. When cool enough shred the chicken into pieces with a fork.
  3. To make salsa- Place tomatillos and Serrano peppers in a pot and add water so that they are fully covered. Bring to a boil and boil until tomatillos turn from bright green to dull green. Strain tomatillos and peppers and place into a blender with a ¼ piece of onion, 1 garlic clove, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Pour In reserved chicken broth so that the liquid covers the vegetables. Blend until completely pureed. Pour pureed mixture into a saucepan and bring to a low boil.
  5. Pour a little oil into a frying pan over high heat. Fry each tortilla for just a few seconds on each side. Drain on a paper towel. Dip slightly fried tortillas into the low boiling green salsa mixture until the tortillas become soft again.
  6. Top tortillas with chicken, extra green salsa, queso fresco cheese, chopped onion, and cilantro.
