Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking or cookie sheet with foil. Set aside.
  • Remove skins from tomatillos. Wash, dry, and cut in half. Place cut side down on foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Wash and cut poblanos in half, remove ribbing, seeds, and stems. Place cut side down (skins facing up) on the baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the tomatillos and poblanos with olive oil. Roast at 425 degrees F until tomatillos are soft and the chiles are blistered.
  • Add cooked tomatillos and poblanos to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Set aside.
  • Heat the 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large dutch oven or stockpot. Add the onion and saute until golden and tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, oregano, cumin, and chili powder. Saute for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Stir the tomatillo mixture, cook over medium-low heat (lowering heat if sputtering occurs) for 10 minutes, until thickened.
  • Stir in the broth, beans (with liquid) and shredded chicken. Continue to simmer for an additional 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the chopped chard, season to taste with salt and pepper, and simmer for 5-10 more minutes, until chard is tender.
  • Serve topped with cilantro lime pesto, sour cream, tortilla chips, and diced avocado.
  • Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired.
