Mexican green chicken dishes are delicious; this one is enchanting, not only for its very subtle flavor but because the green sauce is downright pretty to look at.

Steps:
- Put the chicken pieces into a heavy casserole with the stock, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer gently, covered, for 45 minutes, or until tender. Lift the chicken out onto a platter and set aside. Pour the stock into a jug. Rinse out and dry the casserole.
- In a blender or food processor combine the onion, garlic, parsley, coriander, lettuce, hot peppers, and almonds, and reduce to a coarse puree. Do not over blend as the finished sauce should have some texture, not be entirely smooth. Heat the oil or lard in a large, heavy skillet and pour in the puree, which will be almost paste like because of the almonds. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 3 to 4 minutes over moderate heat. Transfer it to a casserole. Stir in 2 cups of the stock, season to taste with salt. Add the chicken pieces, cover, and simmer just long enough to heat the chicken through. Serves 6.
- Arroz Blanco (White Rice) is good with this. For a completely Mexican meal, serve the chicken with the rice and with tortillas. Frijoles (Beans), and guacamole (Avocado Sauce).

POLLO CON SALSA VERDE (CHICKEN WITH GREEN SAUCE)
I love salsa verde, so this is one of the ways that I like to prepare chicken. This dish serves up great with Spanish rice, and a green salad.

- Place the chicken breasts in a Dutch oven or large skillet. Add water to just cover, about 3 cups, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Drain, reserving the broth. Combine the almonds and 1/2 cup of broth in a blender and blend until the nuts are very finely chopped but not pureed. Set aside.
- Wash out the Dutch oven or skillet and wipe it dry. Add the oil and heat over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, puree the tomatoes in the blender. Add the tomatoes and ground almonds to the onion mixture. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt or more to taste and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, thin with a little broth.
- The chicken and sauce can be prepared in advance to this point and refrigerated until needed. Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise. Reheat the sauce in a large skillet. Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and cook until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.
