Directions

1. Dice chicken into small peices. Place in stock pot and cover with water. Add, salt,bayleaf and pepper. Let boil until chicken is tender, about 30 minutes. Once tender remove chicken from pot with slotted spoon and set aside (go to step 2). Drain all water from pot except about 1 cup. In remaining 1 cup of water add tomatillos, onion, jalapeno, galic. Boil them until tomatillos are golden brown.
2. Heat oil in skillet. Using a slotted spoon remove chicken and add to oil. Fry chicken until golden brown on all sides. Set aside.
3. Once tomatillos are brown add everything to blender (including water). Blend until smooth. Pour back into stock pot, add chicken in also. Add the cumin, jalapeno salt, oregano. Bring to boil. Once mixture is boiling prepare corn starch and water. Slowly stir the corn starch mixture into pot. This will help it thicken (if it's thick enough then you may skip this step).
4. Drain and rinse nopales. Add nopales to stock pot also. Boil for about 15-20 minutes.
5. Serve with rice and tostados.
