Braised Chicken With Tomatillos And Jalapenos Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add to pot, skin side down and cook, without disturbing, until skin has rendered most of the fat and is a nice golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. (You want it to be very deeply golden brown so that it stays nice and brown as it braises.)
• Using tongs, flip the chicken and continue to cook until nicely browned on the other side, another 5 or so minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a plate or cutting board, leaving all the fat and golden bits behind. Add smashed garlic and half of the sliced onion. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatillos and half of the jalapeño and season with salt and pepper. Add chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and add chicken back in, skin side up (they will not submerge all the way; that's fine). Simmer, uncovered, until tomatillos have completely broken down and the sauce has thickened, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Add hominy and continue to cook until flavors have melded and the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon (it should be looser than tomato sauce, thicker than soup), another 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine radish, remaining onion, remaining jalapeño and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
• Serve each piece of chicken with sauce spooned around. Top with radish mixture, some cilantro and tortillas alongside for sopping up all the goods.

Steps:

• Season both sides of chicken breasts with garlic salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook seasoned chicken breasts until chicken is browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Pour diced tomatoes and balsamic vinegar over chicken; season with basil, oregano, rosemary and thyme. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Lay chicken thighs out on a cutting board and season with cumin, salt, and pepper.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select the Saute-High function. When display reads "hot" add oil. Saute chicken thighs until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
• Add onion and garlic to the pot and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 of the chicken stock and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to remove any browned bits. Cancel Saute function.
• Add tomatillos, jalapeno, and remaining chicken stock to the pot. Place chicken back on top. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• While the chicken is cooking, mix mayonnaise, cilantro, lime zest, and lime juice together in a small bowl.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Remove chicken from the pot and place on serving plates. Top each serving with onion-tomatillo mixture, a spoonful of mayonnaise mix, and sliced avocado.
