New Recipes #42-43
Before I get into Thanksgiving Dinner, I want to clear away some tabs.
I had yogurt and I had split breasts in the freezer, so I decided to give this a try. I served it with couscous made with cumin and garlic, with baby spinach and chicken juices stirred in at the end and some roasted zucchini, which was underwhelming, but altogether it made for a very nice meal.
My MIL is trying to avoid pork, but loves my posole and I'd been thinking of trying a green version with chicken, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity. Many of the recipes I looked at online called for tomatillos, but I didn't have time to get to anywhere that stocks fresh ones, so I just started with this recipe and added a jar of Trader Joe's tomatillo salsa. I browned the chicken first, which made the resulting soup a lovely rich brown. Jason and I agreed that we like my red pork version better, but this was tasty enough that I want to keep trying.
