Serves: 3 to 6


Ingredients
3 Chicken leg quarters (w/skin & bpmes)
1/2 to 1 tsp salt
1/4 tso fresh black pepper
1/4 cup cooking oil
2 cups sliced white onions
2 cloves garlic
2 lb tomatillos
4 Tbsp raw sugar
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
2 cuts (or less) chicken broth or water

Step by Step Instructions
  1. Remove husks from tomatillos, wash off stickiness, and cut larger ones into halves.
  2. Slice onions by cutting in half lengthwise, then slicing thin crescents. Mince garlic
  3. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then brown in hot oil in a large skillet, turning,then remove from pan. (At this point you can skin chicken if you wish.)
  4. Saute onions in same pan for 3 to 4 minutes, add garlic & cook a few seconds, then add tomatillos and cook 6 to 8 minutes.
  5. Add sugar, chopped chipotle(s) and adobo sauce to taste. Return chicken to pan, add broth to almost cover, and simmer 35-45 min. until chicken is cooked and tender. Serve with rice if desired
  6. I always have lots of tasty broth leftover, to which I add more broth and add leftover chicken and rice, cooked carrots, and we have soup on the second day.
