Chicken Chile Verde
Jan 12, 2024 04:36 PM
Tender, juicy chunks of chicken simmered in a bold chile verde sauce. Serve it over rice or load it up in a burrito! It’s so flavorful and melt-in-your-mouth scrumptious!
I love this even more than pork chile verde which means I must be going crazy! Usually I’m all about a bunch of tender, shredded pork but there’s just something so good about this chicken dinner recipe that calls my name! I especially love it with rice and beans but my family is starting to prefer it in a freshly made tortilla.
Whichever way you eat it, you’re going to devour this yummy Mexican chicken dinner.
