1 1/2 pounds chicken or pork boneless and diced into cubes
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup green chili sauce
2 cups tomatillos, husks removed and coarsely chopped
2 roasted green chilis, seeded and diced ( Anaheim or Poblano work well)
4 cloves of garlic, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon sugar(optional)
3 tablespoons oil
2 cups water
Brown the chicken or pork in a small amount of lard or oil, over high heat.
Place the browned chicken or pork, chili sauce and tomatillos into a crock pot and set on low, or a large, covered pot over low heat. Simmer for 2 hours. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for and additional 2 hours. Check every 30 minutes and add water as necessary. Serve hot.
** Note- Next time I make this I am going to roast the tomatillos just to see if it gives it a different flavor, but the tomatillos were good unroasted as well.
