Steps:
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeno and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken, tomatillos, cilantro stems, cumin, and chicken stock to the skillet. Bring the stock to a boil then cover the skillet and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let cook for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and turn the chicken over. Cook for 10 minutes, uncovered, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat and shred the chicken in the sauce. Stir in the cilantro leaves. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve the chicken and sauce on the warmed tortillas, topped with cheese, tomato, and onion, as desired.
SHREDDED CHICKEN AND TOMATILLO TACOS WITH QUESO FRESCO
This recipe is courtesy of Bobby Flay and it is fantastic! It is very simple to put together but has wonderful flavor for such minimal effort. When in a hurry, I have skipped grilling/blackening the tomatillos and serrano and just sautéed them in a hot pan until softened and the skins were slightly charred and it still tastes great. I highly suggest you blacken them on the grill if you have time because it adds a beautiful smokiness to the tomatillo sauce.

Steps:
- Add the blackened tomatillos and serrano to a small sauté pan and briefly sauté in a little olive oil over medium high heat.
- Place the tomatillos, serrano, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and honey in a blender and blend until smooth. Place the tomatillo mixture in a large sauté pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, add the chicken, and heat through. (You may also skip this last step and just drizzle the tomatillo sauce over the top of the chicken after you have placed it in the tortilla).
- Run the tortillas under the tap to lightly moisten them and then place the tortillas on the grill or warm non-stick griddle, and grill for 20 seconds on each side. Spoon the chicken mixture into the tortillas and top with some cilantro and a few tablespoons of queso fresco. Fold the tortillas in half serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the husks, then rinse the tomatillos until no longer sticky; cut into quarters.
- In a large bowl, add the tomatillos, poblano peppers, onion, garlic, chicken, oil, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss to coat and distribute ingredients evenly onto a baking sheet. Roast for 25 to 35 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the chicken registers 165 degrees F.
- Remove from the oven and place the chicken on a cutting board. Transfer the tomatillos, peppers, onion, garlic and any pan juices to the bowl of a food processor. Add the cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pulse until the mixture resembles a chunky salsa.
- Shred the chicken and place in a large bowl. Add the tomatillo mixture and stir to incorporate; add salt and pepper, to taste.
- Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in foil and place in a warm oven until the tortillas are warm, about 10 minutes. Build the tacos by starting with a warm tortilla and add about 1/2 cup chicken mixture. Top the tacos as desired with baby greens, crumbled queso fresco, chopped tomato, and sliced onions.
- Cook's Notes: If you have sensitive skin, consider wearing plastic or latex gloves when seeding and chopping the poblano peppers to protect your hands from the pepper's mild heat.
- The key to success for the dish is in the roasting. The entire filling ingredients roast for a short time in the oven before being combined, infusing a smoky roasted flavor into the tomatillos and making dinner prep a breeze on busy weeknights.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toast the cumin and coriander seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Cool the seeds, and then grind them finely in a spice grinder.
- Remove the paper husks from the tomatillos and rinse in cool water to remove any sticky residue; pat dry. Put the tomatillos, poblano, jalapeno, onion and garlic in a mixing bowl. Add half the ground cumin and coriander mixture, the agave or honey and olive oil and mix until the vegetables are coated. Season with some salt and pepper. Put the vegetables in a roasting pan.
- Coat the chicken, including the cavity, with grapeseed or canola oil and season with the remaining spice mixture and some salt and pepper. Put the chicken on top of the tomatillo mixture and roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast reads 165 degrees F., about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, using your hands, shape the masa into 8 even balls. Cut some wax paper into a few squares slightly larger than the tortilla press. Spray 2 pieces with some nonstick spray. Sandwich a ball of masa between the pieces of wax paper, sprayed sides against the dough, and press in the tortilla press to flatten. Remove the tortilla and set aside. Repeat with the remaining dough, using new pieces of wax paper if necessary.
- Heat a cast-iron griddle or pan over medium-high heat and cook the tortillas until golden brown, about 30 seconds per side. Keep warm while you finish the chicken.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board or platter to rest while you make the salsa verde: Put the vegetable mixture from the roasting pan in a blender along with the half the cilantro and the lime juice and blend until smooth; transfer the salsa to a mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove and discard the skin. Using your hands, shred the meat, put it in a mixing bowl and stir in enough of the salsa verde to moisten. Taste and adjust seasoning or add salsa verde as needed. Put any extra salsa verde in a bowl to serve with the tacos.
- Fill the tortillas with the chicken mixture. Serve hot with the sliced radishes, cotija, the remaining cilantro, lime wedges, remaining cilantro, and additional salsa verde in bowls.
