Pollo en Salsa Verde con Calabacitas (Chicken With Squash in Green Salsa)

This recipe is one of the many ways you can use tomatillos, which are also known as tomates verdes. For this recipe, I added Mexican squash, but you can add zucchini, chayotes, green beans, and other green vegetables. The addition of vegetables to this dish is widespread in Mexico; it adds more flavor and texture to the stew, and it’s a great way to eat your daily amount of veggies.
