Authentic Enchiladas Verde
From the valadez family
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.
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'.
