Roast chicken, tomatillos
Preheat oven to 400°F. Remove and discard husks from tomatillos and slice in half. Season chicken on both sides with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Coat bottom of baking sheet with a light drizzle of oil and place tomatillos cut side down on one side of pan. Place chicken breasts on other side of pan. Once oven heats, bake chicken and tomatillos until chicken is no longer pink throughout and tomatillos are soft and slightly charred, 20 to 22 minutes. Set aside to cool. Prep remaining ingredients while waiting.

Cook aromatics
Heat large saucepan on medium with 1 tablespoon oil. Once oil shimmers, add onion and a pinch of salt. Sauté until onions are transparent and soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Add in garlic, poblano, scallions and Mexican spice mix and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions and peppers are slightly caramelized, 6 to 8 minutes. Add potatoes and cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Then stir in stock, ½ cup water and mix to combine. Increase heat to high, bring stew to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and simmer until potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes.

Simmer stew

Garnish, plate
