Instructions for Green Tomatillo Chicken

* - cored and chopped ======================================================= ================== 1. Remove chicken skin. Pour oil into 10-12" frying pan over medium-high heat.

Cover and simmer, turning chicken occasionally, until meat is no longer pink at thigh bone (cut to test), about 30 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a platter; keep warm. 2.
