This is a nice chicken stew type recipe using tomatillos. Around here we only see tomatillos in the stores for a few weeks, so it is nice to make something using them when they are available. I got this recipe from my mom, although she usually makes it with pork and I like it with chicken. It is quick and easy, and can be make in about half an hour.

I just saw some tomatillos in the store and really wanted to buy them but I didn’t know what I would do with them, thanks for the idea!
I actually just had to look up what tomatillos were- I had no idea! This looks REALLY good though!
