Ingredients
  • 1 whole chicken, cut into 6 pieces
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 8 tomatillos, husked and quartered
  • 2 fresh jalapeno peppers, chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, for garnish
Instructions
1
Prepare the chicken by sprinkling both sides evenly with salt and black pepper.
2
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3
Cook the chicken, 2 to 3 pieces at a time, until it is nicely browned on all sides, taking approximately 15 minutes to complete.
4
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
5
Combine the tomatillos, jalepeno peppers, garlic, cilantro, and chicken stock in a blender. Blend the ingredients until they form a smooth mixture.
6
Set this mixture aside for later use.
7
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-low heat.
8
Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and translucent, requiring about 10 minutes.
9
Add the cumin, oregano, and bay leaf to the pot.
10
Stir these ingredients together for 1 minute.
11
Place the chicken in the Dutch oven, on top of the onion mixture.
12
Pour the tomatillo mixture over the chicken.
13
Bring the mixture to a boil, then decrease the heat to low and let it simmer, covered, until the meat is tender and falls apart easily, taking approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
14
Add the potatoes to the pot.
15
Cook them, uncovered, until they can be easily pierced with a fork, requiring about 35 minutes.
16
Season the dish to taste with salt and pepper.
17
Serve it hot, garnished with a dollop of sour cream.
