Tomatillo-Braised Chicken Thighs
- 12 ounces tomatillos (about 5 medium), husks removed
- 6 garlic cloves
- 1 medium jalapeno pepper, halved and seeded
- 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup unsalted chicken stock (such as Swanson)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 8 bone-in chicken thighs (about 1 3/4 pounds), skinned
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, quartered
- 3 tablespoons Mexican crema
- Preheat broiler to high.
- Place first 3 ingredients on a jelly-roll pan; broil 9 minutes, turning after 5 minutes. Combine tomatillo mixture, cilantro, stock, and flour in a blender; process until smooth.
- Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken to pan, meaty side down; cook 5 minutes or until browned. Turn chicken over; top with tomatillo mixture. Partially cover pan; reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 9 minutes or until chicken is done. Sprinkle with tomatoes; top with crema.
