Special Precautions and Tips:

• If you can't find canned green chiles, you can use fresh green chiles. Just be sure to remove the seeds and ribs before chopping.
• You can adjust the heat level of the green chile sauce by adding more or less salsa verde.
• Be sure to cook the chicken until it is done, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
