By mrboyton

Ingredients

• Ingredients
• 1/2 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed
• 2 large cloves garlic, peeled
• 2 serrano chiles, stemmed (or to taste)
• 1/3 cup loosely packed cilantro, plus more for garnish
• salt to taste
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, or 1 whole chicken, cut

Preparation

Step 1

Procedures

1



On a small baking sheet, spread out the tomatillos, garlic cloves, and serrano chiles. Roast under a hot broiler until charred and soft, turning once during cooking, about 5 minutes per side. Set the oven to 400 degrees.



2



Once the vegetables have cooled slightly, blend with the cilantro and just enough water to bring it together (1/4 cup or so). Taste and season with salt.



3



In a medium bowl, whisk together the tomatillo salsa and the cream. Put the chicken in a baking dish that holds everything snugly in one layer and cover with the tomatillo-cream sauce.



4



Bake the chicken until just cooked through, 15-30 minutes depending on the size of the pieces.
