Instructions

1. 1 Fill a pot with water; bring to a boil. Add chicken breasts; cook until no longer pink in centers and juices run clear, about 10 minutes.

2. 2 Fill the same pot with water; bring to a boil. Add nopales, tomatillos, and jalapeño peppers; cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Drain; transfer tomatillos and jalapeños to a blender. Set nopales aside; cool.
3. 3 Blend tomatillos and jalapeño peppers until smooth; pour into the same pot. Add shredded chicken; place over medium heat. Dice nopales; stir into the pot. Simmer until completely reheated, about 5 minutes.
