Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups halved tomatillos
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro plus more for garnish
  • ½ cup Cubanelle green peppers diced
  • 1 T garlic minced
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 cups chicken bone broth
  • 1 T cumin powder
  • 1 T red chili flakes
  • ½ lb chicken breast
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lime wedges for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Place the halved tomatillos onto a baking sheet, and broil them in the oven for five minutes, or until the tops are blistered.
  • Combine the broiled tomatillos, cilantro, Cubanelle peppers, minced garlic, fresh lime juice, and water in a blender at high speed. Blend until you get a homogenous bright green salsa verde.
  • Transfer the salsa verde to a medium pot, and add in the chicken bone broth, cumin powder, and chili flakes. Mix well to combine.
  • Submerge the chicken breast into the liquid and switch the heat to medium-low. Continue cooking for 1 hour or until the chicken juices run clear when prodding.
  • Remove the chicken breast from the pot and set it onto a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat into thin strips.
  • Return the shredded chicken to the pot and add in the salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let it simmer for about 3 minutes and divide the soup evenly into 2 bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges before serving.
