Instructions
- 1
Place the tomatillos, serrano chiles, and unpeeled garlic cloves in a dry 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, turning occasionally, until the tomatillos are charred in spots and softened, and the garlic skins are darkened, about 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes, then peel the garlic.

Transfer the charred tomatillos, serranos, and peeled garlic to a blender. Add the roughly chopped onion, cilantro, and chicken broth. Blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds.
