Why You'll Love This

  • Roasting the tomatillos and jalapenos gives the sauce restaurant-level depth
  • One pot poaches the chicken while the sauce roasts, so nothing sits idle
  • Freezes well: assemble unbaked, wrap tightly, and bake straight from frozen at 375 F for about 40 minutes

Method

  1. Place the chicken breasts in a medium pot and add water until the chicken is covered by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the meat is no longer pink inside.
