Well I used store bought tortillas first off, and eliminated the liquid smoke. The chicken turned out fabulous. ( cooked in skillet instead of on the grill... it's been a little chilly I tried to roast the tomatillos and serranos in the oven (gas broiler. This is my first time ever using tomatillos for anything. They did not turn out quite right... anyone have some tips on this? Can you use them raw in this recipe or do they have to be roasted/skin peeled off?

I made this chicken for a large crowd and everyone absolutely loved it!!! I used large, boneless, skilnless chicken breasts and did not overcook them on the BBQ. The flavor and moisture were perfect. The tomatillo sauce was equally great. I used store bought tortillas, and made the tomatilla sauce in my blender instead of in a mortar. This made for an easy dinner which we will make again.

this dish was pretty good. it was spicy and yummy, but it was dry. Maybe because i did not cook it right, but i would make it again.
