Ingredients:

Serving

2 quarts water
1 1/2 lb tomatillos, husks removed
4 serrano chiles
2 garlic cloves
1/2 small yellow onion
12 medium-size day-old corn tortillas
canola oil, for frying
2 medium size chicken breasts boneless and skinless
8 oz asadero-style cheese grated (may substitute monterey jack)
4 oz mexican cream or creme fraiche
1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped
1 medium avocado, peeled and sliced

Directions:

In a medium sauce pan boil the water, add the tomatillos and serrano chiles and let them cook for about 8 minutes. In a blender puree the tomatillos, chiles, garlic, and onions using enough of the tomatillo water to make a sauce consistency. Strain.
Cut the tortillas in half and then in quarters making 8 triangles from each one. In a medium-size skillet heat the oil, fry the tortillas until crisp and remove from heat.
In a medium-size skillet saute the chicken breast until done and then slice into 1-inch strips.
In a medium sauce pan bring the tomatillo salsa to a boil, taste for salt, and season if necessary, add the crispy tortillas and let simmer for about 4 minutes or until the tortillas get soft.
In a 8 by 8 inch baking dish, place some of the chilaquiles with sauce, add some of the chicken strips, cover with more tortillas then top with the grated cheese. Bake in a preheated 400 degree F. oven until the cheese melts, garnish with the cream, chopped onion, and avocado slices.
