What it is
A vibrant green chicken stew, characterized by its herbaceous sauce made from tomatillos, cilantro, and green chiles. Modified to remove carb-heavy thickeners and starchy vegetables.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (thighs/legs), tomatillos, cilantro, green chiles (jalapeño/serrano), onion, garlic, chicken broth, olive oil.
If you order it anyway
Request no masa or bread as a thickener. Confirm no potatoes or other starchy vegetables are added. Serve without rice or tortillas. A side of sliced avocado would complement it well.
Watch out for
Masa or bread is often used for thickening. Tomatillos and onions contribute significant carbs in large quantities. Potential for added sugar in restaurant-prepared sauces.
