POLLO EN SALSA DE TOMATILLO

• Coloca el pollo, mientras tanto, en una sartén grande. Agrega el caldo y tápalo. Cocina a fuego medio por 15 minutos o hasta que esté completamente cocido, revolviendo de vez en cuando. Retira el pollo de la sartén, reservando 3 tazas del caldo; tapa el pollo para mantenerlo tibio.
• Vierte la mitad del caldo reservado en una licuadora. Agrega la mitad de las semillas de calabaza, de los tomatillos, del cilantro, de la cebolla y de las galletas trituradas; pon la tapa. Licua hasta mezclar bien, revolviendo de vez en cuando; vierte la mezcla en la sartén. Repite el procedimiento con las cantidades restantes.

ENTOMADO DE POLLO (TOMATILLOS AND CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken thighs on both sides with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Marinate in fridge for about 2 hours.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté garlic and onion.
• Add chicken, skin side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until light brown. Turn over and cook 4-5 more minutes.
• If you must, drain the juice, but I highly recommend you don't so you keep the flavor. Add the tomatillos, peppers, and oregano. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Season with additional salt and pepper if desired, and serve.

POLLO EN SALSA

Steps:

• Place chicken in a slow cooker. Combine diced tomatoes with juice, chipotle salsa, and condensed soup in a bowl; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on Low until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 to 8 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove chicken from the sauce, shred, then return to the sauce. Simmer on Low heat for an additional 30 minutes.
• Turn slow cooker off. Stir in sour cream and season with salt.
• Divide rice between 4 plates. Serve chicken and sauce over rice and garnish with Mexican-style cheese and avocado slices.

POLLO EN JOCóN FROM GUATEMALA

Steps:

• In a dry non-stick pan over medium toast pumpkin seeds, moving constantly for 3­5 minutes.
• Add the sesame seeds and continue tossing for 2 more minutes until they are very lightly browned.
• Remove from heat immediately so they don't continue browning.
• Put toasted pumpkin seeds and toasted sesame seeds into a blender and pulse on "puree" for 5 or 10 seconds, until they are ground. (You may need to stir a bit between pulses) Scrape into a small bowl or cup, and set aside. (no need to wash blender ­ you will use it again soon)
• Place chicken and fresh tomatillos in a large pot with 5 -6 cups of PUR filtered water(enough to just cover). Add 2 teaspoons of salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
• Add 3 tablespoons of oil to a large sauté pan. Sauté the garlic, green pepper and onion stirring frequently, until the onion starts to brown and the green peppers are softened. Remove from heat.
• With a slotted spoon remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
• Remove tomatillos from the broth and transfer to the blender.
• Add cilantro, 1 1/2 cup of the strained chicken broth to and green pepper and onion mixture to the blender. Puree for about 20 seconds until smooth.
• Pour the sauce into a pot and add ground seeds to the pot and 2 more cups of the broth. (Remaining broth will not be needed but you might want to use it to make rice to accompany the stew)
• Bring contents of pot to a boil. Lower to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered for 10 minutes to thicken the sauce. Meanwhile, remove chicken from bones and shred (pull chicken apart using two forks. Refer to photo in BBQ Chicken Enchiladas).
• Add shredded chicken to the thickened sauce along with salt and fresh pepper, to taste. Simmer gently for an additional 10 minutes.
