I've got a couple boneless chicken thighs and a bottle of La Preferida
Salsa Verde; medium heat is what the bottle says. What can I do that
will use all the chicken and some of the salsa?

Left to my own devices, I would probably just simmer the thighs in some
salsa and serve it with rice and beans. Do I want to involve any tomato
stuff?

Thanks.

Rice and beans??? BLECH!!!


Saute the chicken in some (*LOTSA*) garlic and onions, and EVOO. Chuck
in the LPSV, some olives, and some capsicum (Bell Peppers for you
furiners.)


Get some fresh pasta, or even just get some *good* dried whole egg
pasta.


Cook the pasta....... the chooken and stuff won't take but a couple
minutes.

Drain the pasta, chuck in the pan with the chook and stuff (maybe
parsley....... to try abd cover all that garlic??!! :-)


Fresh made pasta, or fresh pasta, is the ducks guts.

Wth fresh pasta, you don't need no stinkin' rice and beans.

Ducks guts is not what I need to use. I need to use the salsa verde.

This was given to me at a boy scout function. Tried the recipe and the kids
ate it and didn't die, so here goes:

You will need, the chicken, the salsa, olives (either black or green,
sliced) a sliced jalepeno (or pepper of your choice) a chopped scallion or
two and some shredded cheddar.

Place chicken in a cassarole (hot pot dish for you Meenie Sotans) and cover
with salsa, sprinkle olives, peppers and onions over salsa. Pop in 350 oven
until juices run clear in chicken (may want to baste chicken occassionally
with salsa while cooking if you are anal about such things, I just let it
cook). When chicken is 'this close' to being done, top whole shebang with
shredded cheddar and allow cheese to melt.

Serve with rice, beans and rice, spanish rice, your choice. If you have
those in your house that will go 'eeewww, it's tooo spicy', just serve them
the chicken and salsa and leave the other things in the pan.

Nah; the tomatios already cover the "sweet acid" taste and
adding the tomatoes will just diffuse and confuse.

If you add a litte cayenne pepper and sauté some onions,
that'll also enhance the taste.

[SIGH]........ you heathens need to learn the vernacular of *certain*

The "ducks guts" means 'you beaut'.......... ie, the best thing to use.



Rice and beans is *STODGY*.






Use fresh pasta..... with the garlic, the olives, maybe some semi dried
tomatos, some basil.


Just **** the rice and beans off.

Pan fry the thighs in a nonstick skillet. You might need to add a
little chicken fat or butter. When they are almost done, add some
sliced onions (and I would add diced jalapeños or some cayenne pepper.)
When it's finished cooking, tear the chicken into big pieces and roll
up in warm flour tortillas with grated sharp cheddar, sour cream, and
some of the salsa. Eat the rest of the salsa with chips.

Mix salsa verde with sour cream. Put chicken in baking dish, cover
with mixture. Add whatever you feel like (I wouldn't feel like
tomatoes). Bake till done. I do this with chcken breasts and it's

A bottle of salsa? Shouldn't it be a jar of your home made?? I'm all
disillusioned now- what's this world coming to? Cats & dogs, sleeping
together...

I first read that as La Perfidia. The Treachery.

But I suppose that could be a good name for a very hot sauce, depending on
how much it eventually hurt...

Like "the cat's pajamas"?

I find bottled salsa verde a reasonably expedient way to
make a chicken or pork chile verde, the main problem being
too much salt.

At the opposite extreme, fresh tomatillos, onions, garlic
and green chilis of various sorts, and some vegerable broth.

The in-between approach is to use canned tomatillo salsa,
but add in fresh chilis and onions. (The canned tomatillo
product certaily has all the salt the dish needs.)

Away from the chicken, salsa verde + sour cream makes a pretty
fair salad dressing!

I don't think it can get any less complicated than that. Thank you.
Have you a recommendation for ratios or just to taste?

Thanks. HWSRN is getting finicky-er about fat -- won't do cheese at all
and would scrape the sour cream off. I like aem's suggestion for its
simplicity. I may make it for me and Rob can have a Marie Callender pot
pie.

A large chunk of pork butt (shoulder) is best for chile verde,
preferably bone-in; for a smaller batch shoulder chops work.

And it makes a huge difference to use free-range pork.

Well Peter, not everyone would agree. It makes sense if she's making salsa
verde chicken. The combining of grains and legumes is hardly a new idea.

So you're saying that somebody's duck guts are in or on your cat PJs???
Cause if the duck's gut were wearing the PJs that would really be

I'm from the deep south in the US, and we make something like this
called "Ro-tel chicken" only we use ro-tel spicy peppers and tomatoes
(like extra chunky salsa...with only 2 ingredients) and we bake it as
a cacerole over a bed of egg noodles. I imagine though with green
salsa, it may look like baby puke.

However, if you really wanted to make this southern style, you'd fry
the chicken, make some black-eyed peas, and put the green salsa on top
of the peas.

Ok so now we have bee's knees, cat's PJ and ducks guts....Do you boil
sautee or braise and how much garlic? This is starting to sound good. Of
course you strain it through the PJs; don't you? When do the snake's
suspenders fit into the picture?

"Thirty seven years ago, a Quarter Master, nearly knocked me over as he
thrust an L1A1 SLR into my hands and bellowed, "Keep that Rifle in Tip
Top Order so you can Kill your Countries Enemies with it before they
Kill You. These days, I do not have to visit exotic overseas countries
as my Countries Enemies are seen wallowing around our seats of
government, they guzzle and cavort at the Public trough so deeply they
make Caligula and Nero look like Church choir boys."


Mr Ron Owen, 2000, in a letter to then Premier Olsen.
