For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Use a high-quality salsa verde for the best taste; homemade is even better! A squeeze of fresh lime juice at the end can brighten the flavors. Garnish with chopped cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for a delightful presentation. Adjust seasoning as needed; different brands of salsa verde may vary in salt content.
