Steps:

  • 1. Clean and deseed all the peppers ( when I do the jalapenos I use a spoon to make sure I get all the seeds and the ribs,Or leave some ribs behind if you want more heat)
  • 2. Chop the onion, tomatillos, and cilantro.
  • 3. Cube the chicken into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 4. Over a med high heat in a 2 -4 quart pot heat the oil. Add the chicken and sprinkle it with the taco seasoning and 1 TBSP of bullion. Cook just until a light brown color.
  • 5. Add the remaining ingredients stirring to combine. Begin to add your water until you cover the vegetables.
  • 6. Add garlic salt cumin and more bullion until you have your desired taste. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until all contents are tender. Aprox. 30 - 40 mins
  • 7. mix 1/2 cup of water to the cornstarch until smooth(no lumps)
  • 8. While gently stirring, slowly add the cornstarch and water mixture to the simmering mixture. You want the sauce to be the consistency of a light gravy. If needed make more cornstarch water.
