Directions:
- Heat your oven to 450 °F.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the tomatillos with half of the extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with black pepper and salt (to taste; just a few pinches) and place, cut-side-down, in a roasting dish.
- Separately, take a bulb of garlic, cut off its top (just exposing all of the cloves) and drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil. Place this, upside-down in the roasting dish on top of the tomatillos.
- Put the roasting dish in the heated oven for 35-45 minutes or until the garlic is soft and the tomatillos are slightly browned.
- Finely dice the jalapeños and Serrano chiles. If you want to reduce the heat, remove the seeds and white membrane, inside. You can also roast the chiles (coated with a small amount of oil) along with the tomatillos. If you want it hot, just finely dice them and don't bother to roast them. Once diced, set aside.
- Finely dice four onions, eight green onions, and the green bell peppers and add them to the bowl with the chiles.
- Dice the chicken (breasts and thighs) into small pieces, just small enough so that two of them would easily fit onto a soup spoon. This would be about a half inch, cubed. Place the chicken into a bowl and set aside.
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the cumin seeds and red chili flakes until they start to give off an aroma. Remove from the heat, let them cool a bit, and grind into a powder. Dust the chicken with half of the total amount of powder along with a teaspoon of salt and a half teaspoon of black pepper; mix the chicken with the spices to coat, thoroughly.
- In a deep-sided pot, heat the remaining half of the oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken and, stirring, cook it until the surface is white and just starting -barely- to brown.
- Add the diced onions, peppers, and chiles, and stir into the chicken, adding the remainder of the ground cumin spice mixture. Cook until the onions start to become transluscent.
- Add the tomatillos to the pot and squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their papery husk into the pot. Stir to incorporate and cover with eight cups of chicken broth and four cups of water. Cover and bring to a low boil.
- Once simmering, allow the liquid to cook and reduce for about 30-45 minutes. The liquid should be about as thick as a thick stew. Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finely chop a bunch of fresh cillantro and stir into the chili. Remove from the heat; the extra heat will cook the minced cillantro.
- Serve hot.
