Welcome back family!
This is a delicious chicken recipe that I hope your family will enjoy! Purslane is used in some Mexican dishes for its earthy flavor which compliments the sauce. The taste is somewhat similar to spinach. Not only is it good but it's also good for you. It has many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that can provide important health benefits.
Ingredients:
4 lbs CHICKEN BREAST
12 pc TOMATILLOS
4 pc SERRANO PEPPERS
4 pc GARLIC CLOVES
1/2 ONION
1 cup CILANTRO
1 lbs PURSLANE
3 tbs CANOLA or VEGETABLE OIL
1 cup WATER
KNORR SEASONING to taste
KOSHER SALT to taste
PEPPER to taste
Instructions:
1-SALT and PEPPER the chicken to taste. Set aside.
2-Add 1 tbs of OIL to a pot and cook the chicken over medium heat. Remove from the pot and set aside.
3-In a skillet over medium heat grill the TOMATILLOS, SERRANO PEPPERS, GARLIC CLOVES, ONION in 1 tbs of OIL. Place them in a blender along with the CILANTRO and 1 cup WATER. Blend and set aside.
4-Over medium heat add 1 tbs of OIL to the pot. Once the oil is hot approximately 1 minute pour the salsa verde to fry. Add KNORR SEASONING to taste. At this point if you prefer you can add a little water to the pot if you'd like to thin out the salsa. Keep stirring for about 2 minutes.
5-Add the chicken back to the pot. Make sure it gets covered in the salsa.
6-Top the chicken with the PURSLANE. Give it a soft stir to mix with the chicken and salsa. Cover the pot, set the stove to low heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
TIP: Once the salsa veggies are mostly browned throughout but not fully cooked, place a pot cover over them. This will speed up the cooking process but won't lose any of the flavor.
