Place the chicken in a pot with:<\/p>\n

onion<\/p>\n

garlic<\/p>\n

bay leaf<\/p>\n

salt<\/p>\n

enough water to cover<\/p>\n

Bring to a boil.<\/p>\n

Reduce heat and simmer for 20\u201325 minutes<\/strong>, until fully cooked.<\/p>\n

Remove the chicken and shred with two forks.<\/p>\n

Reserve 2 cups of the broth.<\/p>\n

Step 2 \u2013 Make the Salsa Verde<\/h2>\n

Boil the tomatillos, jalape\u00f1os, serrano, onion, and garlic for 10 minutes<\/strong> until softened.<\/p>\n

Transfer to a blender with:<\/p>\n

cilantro<\/p>\n

1\u00bd cups chicken broth<\/p>\n

chicken bouillon<\/p>\n

salt<\/p>\n

Blend until completely smooth.<\/p>\n

Step 3 \u2013 Cook the Salsa<\/h2>\n

shredded chicken<\/p>\n

Mexican crema<\/p>\n

queso fresco<\/p>\n

Cotija cheese<\/p>\n

Serve With<\/h1>\n

Refried beans<\/p>\n

Mexican rice<\/p>\n

Fresh avocado slices<\/p>\n

Lime wedges<\/p>\n

Salsa verde<\/p>\n

Fresh corn tortillas<\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 de olla or fresh orange juice<\/p>\n

Tips<\/h1>\n

Frying your own tortilla chips gives the best authentic texture and flavor.<\/p>\n

Use freshly made salsa verde for a bright, tangy taste.<\/p>\n

Don’t let the chips sit in the salsa too long\u2014they should stay slightly crispy.<\/p>\n

Rotisserie chicken works as a quick substitute, but homemade poached chicken gives the most authentic flavor.<\/p>\n

Garnish just before serving so the crema and cheeses stay fresh and creamy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
