Ingredients
- 1 lb of chicken breast, diced

- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup of cilantro
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 tsp of cumin
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1/4 tsp of black pepper

Instructions
- In a large pot, place the diced chicken breast and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Drain and set aside.
- In a blender, combine the tomatillos, onion, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to make the salsa verde.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the salsa verde to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the cooked chicken to the skillet with the salsa verde and stir to coat the chicken in the sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat the chicken through.
- In a separate skillet, heat the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.
