Chicken-Tomatillo Chili

Used in Mexican and Southwestern cuisine, the understated tomatillo contributes color and complexity to our chicken-tomatillo chili. Resembling small green tomatoes, the slightly tart tomatillos act as a pleasant foil for the cilantro and jalapeño in this chili. Easy-to-make tortilla strips add a welcome crunch.

Ingredients
