Peel, rinse and halve the tomatillos. On a lined baking sheet, roast the tomatillos, poblano pepper, jalapenos, onion and unpeeled garlic cloves in a 400 degree oven for about 25-30 minutes. You want everything to become soft and develop some color.

Cook the chicken on each side for 5-7 minutes or until it has browned to your liking and the interior has cooked thoroughly. Slice the chicken lengthwise into half inch pieces.
