Ingredients

6 Boneless, skinless half breasts, grilled and then sliced thin.

2 Tbsp Olive Oil

1 medium brown onion, peeled and chopped

3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

1 bunch cilantro, washed and chopped

1 lb fresh tomatillos, husked, cored, washed & quartered. (canned tomatillos can be used, but watch the sodium!!)

1 lb fresh chiles, stems removed, chopped.

(use Anaheims for milder flavor, Jalapeno for HOT..I like Pasillas)

1 tsp ground cumin

2 tsp Knorr Chicken Bouillon

approx. 2 cups water.

Directions

Heat Olive Oil in large heavy pot. Saute onions and garlic for a minute or two, till onion is tender.
Add tomatillos, chiles, cilantro, cumin and bouillon.
Add just enough enough water to cover everything. Bring to a boil and simmer on low for at least one hour.
Using a hand blender, puree everything till almost smooth. (If you don't have a hand blender, use a potato masher, you'll just have chunkier chile verde.)
Add sliced chicken and simmer another 1/2 hour or till chicken is falling into shreds.
