About Shredded chicken with tomatillo sauce

Shredded Chicken with Tomatillo Sauce is a flavorful Mexican-inspired dish that combines tender, slow-cooked chicken with a vibrant, tangy green sauce made from tomatillos, garlic, onion, and cilantro. Often seasoned with spices like cumin and chili powder, this dish delivers a balance of savory and citrusy notes. It's high in lean protein from the chicken, making it a filling yet healthy option for meals. Tomatillos are rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and K, and low in calories, supporting overall immune health and digestion. The dish is typically served over rice, in tacos, or alongside beans, which can add fiber but also some extra calories depending on preparation. Opting for minimal oil and pairing it with whole-grain sides can maximize its nutritional value. While delicious, sodium content can be a concern due to seasonings and broths, so using low-sodium options can make it even healthier.
