Carrot
Braised Chicken with Tomatillo Sauce
- Serves 4
Author Notes
If you haven’t noticed by now… I love one-pot cooking. Especially when the pan can go from the stove to the table!
These meal came to me while I was walking around the produce department not knowing what to make for dinner and I spotted the Tomatillo on sale! Immediately braised chicken came to me and created this delicious recipe. I hope you try my Braised Chicken with Tomatillo Salsa and it follows the Paleo diet and is gluten free.
Note: If you love to combine the two together. After you mix in your food processor blender pour into the braising pan and combine the salsa with the chicken. Take pan to table and enjoy family style! —Cindy Anschutz
