Ingredients
- 3 cups Salsa Verde
- 3 cups Water
- 1 Medium Onion
- Diced
- 6 cloves Garlic
- Minced
- 1 whole (4 Lb. Size) Chicken
- Thigh Quarters And Breast Pieces Only
- Bone In
- Skin Removed
- Cilantro For Garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine salsa, water, onion, and garlic in a medium-large pot with a lid.
- Stir well.
- Add chicken pieces and submerge under the salsa mixture.
- If the salsa mixture does not fully cover the chicken, add a little more water, but not more than 1/2 cup.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cover.
- Simmer until chicken is cooked through, 20-30 minutes.
- Remove chicken and leave the salsa mixture in the pot.
- Set to high heat, and cook the salsa mixture until it is reduced by half stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
- While the salsa mixture cooks, and once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred the chicken meat and discard the bones.
- When the salsa mixture has reduced, stir the shredded chicken into the salsa mixture and, if you like, top with cilantro.
