Steps:
- In a saucepan, combine chicken breast with chicken broth, one quarter onion, a clove of garlic, and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, and then boil for 20 minutes. Reserve broth, set chicken aside to cool, and discard onion and garlic. When cool enough to handle, shred chicken with your hands.
- Place tomatillos and serrano chiles in a pot with water, enough to cover them. Bring to boil, and continue boiling until tomatillos turn a different shade of green (from bright green to a dull, army green). Strain tomatillos and chiles, and place in a blender with another quarter piece of onion, 1 clove garlic, and a pinch of salt. Pour in reserved chicken broth, so that liquid just covers the veggies in the blender by about an inch. Blend all ingredients until they are completely pureed. Pour salsa in a medium saucepan, and bring to a low boil.
- Pour oil in a frying pan, and allow to get very hot. Slightly fry tortillas one by one in hot oil, setting each on a paper towel afterwards to soak some of the oil. Finally, dip slightly fried tortillas in low-boiling green salsa, until tortillas become soft again. Place on plates, 3 per person.
- Fill or top tortillas with shredded chicken, then extra green sauce. Top with crumbled cheese, chopped onion, and chopped cilantro.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH SALSA VERDE
Don't let the one-hour prep time on these enchiladas scare you. Use some leftover roast chicken, or buy a roast chicken at the market on the way home, and you'll save at least 20 minutes, making the dish a terrific weeknight feed, alongside a green salad. (At El Real Tex-Mex restaurant, in Houston, the great Tex-Mex scholar and restaurateur Robb Walsh serves his version with lightly smoked chicken, which if you can find or make is superb.) The salsa verde is dead simple to make and the rest is assembly - a task that grows markedly easier each time you do it.

Steps:
- Prepare the chicken: Place chicken parts in a large saucepan with onion, garlic and salt, and cover with water. Heat pan over high heat until liquid comes to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and let simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove chicken and let cool, reserving stock for another use. Using your fingers or two forks, shred meat from chicken and reserve, discarding skin and bones. (Alternatively, shred meat from leftover or store-bought roast chicken and set aside.)
- Meanwhile, heat oven to 375, and make the salsa verde: Combine tomatillos, onion, garlic, serranos and cilantro in a blender or food processor and purée until smooth, adding water as needed to thin it out a little. Season with salt to taste.
- Prepare the tortillas: In medium sauté pan set over medium-high heat, heat oil until it begins to shimmer. Using tongs or a wide spatula, place a tortilla in the hot fat; it should start to bubble immediately. Heat tortilla for about 10 seconds a side, until soft and lightly browned. Remove tortilla and set on a rack set over a baking pan, or just on a baking pan if you don't have a rack. Repeat with remaining tortillas, working quickly.
- Assemble the enchiladas: Use a ladle to put about 1/2 cup salsa verde in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and spread it out a little. Roll a few tablespoons of shredded chicken into each tortilla with a teaspoon or so of salsa verde and place it seam-side down in the pan, nestling each one against the last. Ladle salsa verde over top of rolled tortillas and sprinkle with about half the crumbled cheese.
- Transfer to oven and bake until sauce bubbles and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Dot with crema, sprinkle with remaining cheese and, if using, chopped onion, then serve immediately.

SALSA VERDE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
According to my niece, Bayleigh, these are the bomb of chicken enchiladas. It is an adapted creation from several recipes I have used in the past. You can make as individual enchiladas or as a casserole with or without the corn tortillas. Garnish with jalapenos and cilantro as desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, poblano peppers, jalapeno peppers, and garlic; cook and stir until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken; squeeze lime halves over chicken, then place rinds and pulp into the skillet. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes.
- Remove and discard lime rinds. Stir in cream cheese, 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, chili powder, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Once cream cheese is melted, remove from heat.
- Puree salsa verde, sour cream, and cilantro in a blender or food processor.
- Heat tortillas in a microwave until soft, 15 to 30 seconds.
- Pour enough of the sour cream mixture into the prepared baking dish to coat the bottom. Place 2 heaping tablespoons or more of the chicken mixture in each tortilla, roll up, and place seam side-down in the baking dish. Pour remaining sour cream mixture over all enchiladas and top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Cover the dish with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes.
