Ingredients
2 chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces4 cups of chunked mushrooms1 bunch of cilantro, chopped coarsely1-2 cups of sour cream1 cup of Salsa Verde (Any brand will work)(optional) Onion - chopped(optional) jalapenos
Throw all ingredients into a pan over medium heat on the stove-top. Let simmer until chicken is tender. 20+ minutes. The longer it cooks, the less watery it gets.
Optional: Instead of using Salsa Verde, you can use fresh tomatillos, cooked and pureed.
Be aware that anything that you can do to make this dish less watery is a good idea. I'm planning to try straining my sour cream next time to see if that helps make a less runny burrito.
Also, I made this recipe up based on a dish at my local Mexican restaurant and it is not nearly as good. I'm pretty sure I'm missing something that adds a little tang or bite...but not spiciness...to the dish. Please let me know if you know what that might be!
