This meal is one of my favorites. In fact, my whole family loves it. Maybe it’s because we could drink the tomatillo ranch dressing because it’s that good. Or maybe it’s because it’s so super easy to get going in the morning with only 5 ingredients! Whatever the reason, this is a recipe worth trying. If you’re not a big salad fan, the chicken goes nicely in tacos or even on pizza.
Thank you so much! I used the chicken to make tostada's tonight and all the fixings as well as the dressing instead of salsa. My family couldn't get enough of it! I saved just a bit to make the salads like originally intended for lunch tomorrow. Can't wait to try your other awesome recipes!!
I love to make a very different varieties of chicken salad…I prefer salad because that is possibly low calories food without giving away the taste really…!! Your chicken Rio salad has now been added to my top favorite salad list 🙂
Can I submit thighs for breasts? Do I need to adjust the cooking time for the this?
yes. Use 4 hours of cooking time for thawed and 6 for frozen.
this recipe makes a lot of dressing. How long can I keep the dressing in the refrigerator?
I'd say up to 7 days. You may want to halve the dressing recipe.

Traci, peel the paper type skin layer. Then wash off the stickiness…ahhhh I love this dressing
When you say "peel outer skin layer" of the tomatillos, does that mean the papery-type skin layer, or the actual skin on the tomatillo?
