Description
This chicken in green sauce with nopales is a traditional Mexican dish that I often prepare at home. The combination of tender chicken with the spicy green sauce and the soft nopales is simply delicious. It is a perfect dish for a family meal or a dinner with friends. Also, it is quite healthy and can be accompanied with rice and corn tortillas. The green sauce, made with tomatillos and serrano peppers, gives a fresh and vibrant touch to the dish. Go ahead and try it, you'll love it!

Preparation (6 steps)
Cooking the tomatillos and peppers
Place 2 cups of water in the Thermomix bowl. Add the 500 grams of tomatillos and the 3 serrano peppers. Cook for 8 Min./100°C/Stufe 1.
Cooking the nopales
While the tomatillos and peppers are cooking, clean the 5 nopales very well and chop them into small sticks. Place the chopped nopales in the Thermomix bowl with half a cup of water and a little salt. Cook for 10 Min./100°C/Stufe 1. Remove the water and reserve the cooked nopales.
Blend the green sauce
When the tomatillos and peppers are ready, place them in the Thermomix bowl. Add a piece of onion and 1 clove of garlic. Add a little of the cooking water. Blend for 3 Min./Stufe 8.
Fry the chicken
In a separate pot, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and fry 1 kilogram of chicken in pieces or strips. Move constantly to prevent it from sticking and burning.
Cook the chicken in green sauce
Pour the green sauce over the fried chicken in the pot. Cook for 2 Min./Stufe 2 and season with salt to taste.
Add the nopales and epazote
Add the cooked nopales and 1 sprig of epazote to the pot with the chicken and green sauce. Mix everything and cook for 5 Min./Stufe 1.
