“Tomatillo Sauce”
Note 1: You can use boneless or bone-in chicken parts. MawMaw Gwen uses bone-in because she uses the bones to make chicken broth.
Note 2: Chicken may not be entirely cooked through. Check it if you are going to eat it at this point.
Note 3: As the tomatillos and jalapeños will be hot, remove the center piece on the blender lid to keep the sauce from expanding quickly out of the blender! (exploding)
