Roast in a 450 degree oven from about 15-18 minutes until the bottoms of the tomatillos and jalapeno's start to brown.

Add pureed tomatillos, chicken stock, and cooked great northern white beans. Mix until fully combined and lower the heat to low.
Over a gas burner or grill char the outside of 2 poblano chili's.
Removed charred skin under cold water and dice poblano chili's.
Stir in poblanos and cook for 6-8 hours over low heat. At this point Itransferredthe mixture to thecrock pot.
When done add fresh chopped cilantro right before serving.
Top off Chicken Chili Verde with fresh slicedavocado, shredded cheese, greek yogurt or sour cream, and additional cilantro.
