Ingredients
 

  • 5 whole tomatillos raw
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic
  • 2/3 cup onion diced
  • 1 large green bell pepper diced
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 tablespoons green chile lime seasoning seasoning
  • 4 cups chicken broth no salt
  • 1 1/2 lb chicken breasts
  • 7 oz green chiles can
  • 3 large zucchini diced
  • salt & pepper

Garnish (not included in nutrition)

  • crushed tortilla chips
  • cilantro chopped
  • avocado
  • 2 % Greek yogurt

Instructions
 

  • Set oven to 400F. Place tomatillos (without the hull) on a baking tray lined with parchment. Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the tomatillos have blistered and are softer.
  • Set the Instant Pot or slow cooker on Saute function. If you do not have this option, simply do the following step in a skillet. Once hot, toss in oil, onions, garlic and green bell pepper. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the onions have caramelized and turned slightly translucent.
  • Add roasted tomatillos and use a spatula to mash the tomatillos and stir everything. As it cooks, add cumin and Green Chile Lime seasoning and continue cooking. Cook for 1 -2 minutes to make a thick, fragrant paste. Turn OFF the Saute function.
  • Add broth and chicken breasts to the Instant Pot. Add a pinch of sea salt & pepper, then cook. Set the seal to SEAL and Pressure Cook for 25 minutes on High. Alternatively, Slow Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or on High for 4 to 6 hours.
  • At the end of the cooking cycle, remove the chicken breasts and place in a bowl. Easily and gently pull the chicken apart using forks.
  • Before adding the chicken back, add green chiles to the Instant Pot. As an OPTIONAL step, use a hand immersion blender to blend the soup to make a consistent, smooth broth. Add the chicken back to the Instant Pot. Cook on low for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Garnish and enjoy!
