Loved this wonderful, tasty soup. I made half a recipe and it was perfect for the two of us. I used fresh tomatillos from the garden. one serrano with half the seeds, Rotel, 2 chicken breasts, more broth, and lots of cilantro. Let it simmer for an hour, YUM!

This chili was so good, the tomatillos give it such a bright taste! I added a bunch of white paper and some cayenne because we like it spicy...thanks for posting!

Recently some friends and I drove to Waxahachie to eat lunch at the Dove's Nest. What a fun day and the food is great. We bought the cookbook and this is the first recipe I made. Love this chili, I am glad to see the recipe is posted already - saves me from typing it up. Thanks for posting this.
