    • In a pot over medium heat with the water, add the garlic mixture and the chicken.
    • Add the bay leaves, whole black pepper, half of the white onion and salt.
    • Cover and cook until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
    Krok 2
  3. Boil the tomatillos and chiles

    • In a pot with water, add the tomatillos, serrano peppers and jalapeño.
    • Cook until the tomatillos change color.
    • Reserve the cooking water and transfer the vegetables to the blender.

  4. Blend the salsa verde
