Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 chicken breast large, boneless, skinless, about 1.5-2 lbs total
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 10 tomatillo husks removed and halved
  • 1 onion large, quartered
  • 2 jalapeno pepper use gloves for this and wash hands, seeded and ribs removed

Instructions

  1. Heat about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season chicken with garlic powder, salt and pepper; place in the hot skillet. Sear chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 4-5 minutes per side). Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 more minutes.
  3. While the chicken cooks in the skillet, prepare the tomatillo salsa.
  4. Place the halved tomatillos, the onion, and the jalapeños in a blender. Blend until smooth (you may need to add a splash of water to get the blender going).
  5. Add the tomatillo salsa to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked.
