Zubereitung von Authentic Enchiladas Verde
- In a medium saucepan, combine chicken breasts, chicken broth, half of the chopped onion, minced garlic, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove chicken from broth; reserve broth. Let chicken cool slightly, then shred with two forks.
- While chicken cools, place tomatillos and serrano chiles in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tomatillos change to a deeper green color (about 10-15 minutes).
- Drain tomatillos and chiles. Combine in a blender with remaining chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and reserved chicken broth. Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour salsa into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Gently fry tortillas one at a time until lightly browned and softened (about 15-20 seconds per side). Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Dip each tortilla into the simmering salsa verde until softened.
- Place 3 tortillas on each plate.
- Fill each tortilla with shredded chicken and top with extra green sauce.
- Garnish with crumbled cheese, chopped onion, and cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!
