INGREDIENTS
* 2 (12 oz) cans whole tomatillos, drained
* 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil (no need for this ingredient using my method)
* 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of any excess fat (I used frozen boneless, skinless chicken cutlets)
* 2 jalapenos, minced (leave the seeds in for more heat) (I left them out)
* 1/2 medium onion, diced
* 3 or 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 (15 oz) can white hominy, drained (I forgot to buy this, so I left it out)
*1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
* juice from 1/2 lime
* coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
* 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (I used brown rice)
METHOD
1. Put frozen chicken into the crockpot.
2. Blend all of the other ingredients together in a blender or food processor, minus the oil and rice.
3. Put the sauce on top of the chicken and cook for 5 hours-ish on high or longer on low or until the chicken is cooked.
4. Take the chicken out, shred it, toss it back in, and throw in some rice!
I ate mine with some whole wheat wraps and a little sriracha. YUM!!
I know you probably just didn't have thighs, but let me tell you thighs are juicier than breasts. I am a recent convert. So how do you feel about brown rice? I have some, but I've been too chicken to use it.
ReplyDeleteI love brown rice! I pretty much use it exclusively because it's so much better for you. Obviously white rice is super delicious, but brown is too in just a different way. It does take longer to cook, but just make sure you give yourself extra time.
