Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken and cooking it longer to extract more taste from the bones. You can also adjust the heat level by choosing mild, medium, or hot green chiles according to your preference. If you desire a creamier texture, a splash of cream or a dollop of sour cream can be added just before serving.
