Ingredients:

Serving

4 skinless chicken breast fillets
all-purpose flour , for dusting
2 -3 tbsp butter or 2 -3 tbsp a mixture of and vegetable oil
1 (16 oz) jar salsa verde (mild or medium)
4 cups chicken stock
1 -2 garlic clove, finely chopped
3 -5 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp ground cumin
salt and pepper
1 cup sour cream
3 leaves romaine lettuce, shredded
3 -5 scallions, thinly sliced
coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper, and then dredge in flour. Shake off the excess.
Melt the butter or heat the butter and oil mixture in a large, heavy skillet. Add the chicken and cook over medium-high heat, turning once, until the fillets are golden all over, but not quite cooked through-they will continue to cook in the sauce. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Place the salsa, stock, garlic, cilantro, and cumin in the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, add the chicken, spooning the sauce over it and cover pan with lid. Continue to cook until the chicken is tender, about another 30 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pan and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with the sour cream, shredded lettuce, sliced scallions, and chopped fresh cilantro leaves.
