Step 3

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Carefully add tomatillo mixture; stir. Cook for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Place pepitas, evaporated milk, 1 cup reserved broth from cooking chicken and bouillon in blender; cover. Blend until smooth.

Step 5

Add pepita mixture to skillet; cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
