👨🍳 步骤
- 1

In a Dutch oven, combine chicken pieces, chicken broth, 3 cups of water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 30-45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken to a bowl and strain the broth into another bowl, reserving it.

In the same Dutch oven (or a separate pan), heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the quartered tomatillos, chopped green bell pepper, and jalapeño (if using). Cook until tomatillos are softened, about 10 minutes.

Transfer the cooked tomatillo mixture to a blender. Add the torn corn tortillas, ground seeds, chopped cilantro, and chopped scallions. Add 1 cup of the reserved chicken broth and blend until smooth. Add more broth if needed to reach a sauce consistency.

Pour the blended tomatillo mixture back into the Dutch oven. Gently heat over medium-low heat. Stir in the cooked chicken pieces. Add more reserved broth as needed to achieve a stew-like consistency. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning with salt.
