Authentic Enchiladas Verdes Recipe

In a saucepan combine chicken breast with chicken broth one quarter onion a clove of garlic and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil and then boil for 20 minutes. Reserve broth set chicken aside to cool and discard onion and garlic. When cool enough to handle shred chicken with your hands.

Place tomatillos and serrano chiles in a pot with water enough to cover them. Bring to boil and continue boiling until tomatillos turn a different shade of green (from bright green to a dull army green). Strain tomatillos and chiles and place in a blender with another quarter piece of onion 1 clove garlic and a pinch of salt. Pour in reserved chicken broth so that liquid just covers the veggies in the blender by about an inch. Blend all ingredients until they are completely pureed. Pour salsa in a medium saucepan and bring to a low boil.

Pour oil in a frying pan and allow to get very hot. Slightly fry tortillas one by one in hot oil setting each on a paper towel afterwards to soak some of the oil. Finally dip slightly fried tortillas in low-boiling green salsa until tortillas become soft again. Place on plates 3 per person.

Fill or top tortillas with shredded chicken then extra green sauce. Top with crumbled cheese chopped onion and chopped cilantro.
