Green Chile Chicken Stew

This is a stew built for a weeknight: shredded chicken, refried beans and fire-roasted green salsa simmered with broth until it thickens. The beans do the thickening, so there's no roux to make. Serve it over rice, with tortilla chips for scooping.

What makes it green?

The green comes from tomatillos and green chiles — the base of salsa verde. Tomatillos look like small green tomatoes in papery husks, but taste brighter and more acidic. Fire-roasting them before blending is what gives the sauce its depth.
