Well, I'm not a fan of this as much as I'd hoped to be. I made it exactly as written. Just didn't care for the oddly sweet undertone with the smoky heat of the chipotles. Disappointing, since separately I love all the ingredients in this. My husband, who likes everything, said it was just ok. I'll probably try it again, since it is low cal and easy to cook in the crockpot. Would decrease the brown sugar drastically if I make it again. -
I used canned tomatillos & chicken thighs in this recipe which was very tasty. The chipotle's gave a smoky flavor which went well w/ the brown sugar. Thanks for sharing! -
Awesome and a great way to use up tomatillo which is fairly new to our Northern Canadian gardens but I am slowly converting my coworkers with the fab recipes from Zaar. We made wraps with this recipe. -
Delicious! A great way to utilize the abundance of tomatillos from our garden. The second time I made this, I used chicken tenders instead of breasts, reduced the brown sugar to a tablespoon, and prepared it in a large skillet on the stovetop. I browned the chicken and onion in a little oil, then added everything else; covered and simmered for about 45 minutes. We liked it even better this way.
