This moment! We were wowed by the flavors, the brightness and the straightforward simplicity. What’s special is that there’s no cumin or chili powders — just fresh lime and garlic, stirred into the chicken which creates a vibrant coating on the seared chicken that dances in your mouth. Pow!

Step 2
Husk, rinse, and quarter the Tomatillos (455 g) ). Zest and juice the Lime (1) , reserving for use later.

Heat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place a piece of foil over a baking sheet and spray with vegetable spray.

For salsa, add the tomatillo, jalapeno pepper, peeled Garlic (1 clove) , and Fresh Cilantro (8 g) to the bowl of a mini prep-food processor. Pulse 6-8 times until chunky salsa forms. Season with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) .

Slice the Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (455 g) crosswise into 1/4 inch slices, and heat Olive Oil (30 mL) in a skillet over medium high heat.
Step 9
Add sliced chicken breast and let cook for 2 minutes, without stirring, until one side of the chicken releases from the pan. Flip chicken and brown 1-2 minutes.
Step 10

Step 11
Warm Flour Tortillas (to taste) in the oven by wrapping them in aluminum foil.
