Grill tomatillos and chicken together with jalapeños, onions, and garlic in a foil packet for quick, easy preparation and to let the chicken soak in the flavors of the fresh ingredients. Be careful when opening the foil to check the doneness of the ingredients, as there will be a lot of steam. If you don’t have a grill or grill pan, you can broil the chicken and the tomatillo mixture (no need to wrap it in foil). You can make the tomatillo salsa up to 3 days ahead.
