1

Prepare the ingredients: gather 6 stalks of green onion, 1/2 bunch of cilantro, 1/2 bunch of parsley, 12 tomatillos, 2 cloves of garlic, 1/4 onion, 2 teaspoons of pepitoria Dorada, and 1 green bell pepper.

3

Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and a seasoning mix that includes garlic and onion salt.
