Ingredients

1 whole chicken whatever you'd like
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 yellow onion
2 stalks celery
2 carrots
4 cloves garlic
2 cups chicken broth
4 sprigs oregano
2 tbsp + 1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup raw whole almonds
3 tbsp white sesame seeds
14 oz tomatillos
3 jalapeños
2 poblano peppers
1/2 white onion
3 cloves garlic
1 packed cup cilantro
1 packed cup basil
1 1/2 tsp ground coriander

Steps

Heat the oven to 425 F and place the chicken in a large roasting pan with the onion, celery, carrots, garlic, broth, oregano, and 2 tablespoons oil.
Roast the chicken for 90 to 105 minutes, until the thickest part reaches 165 F.
Place the tomatillos, jalapeños, poblanos, white onion, and garlic on a baking sheet, coat with 1 tablespoon oil, and roast at 425 F for 25 minutes.
Toast the pumpkin seeds, almonds, and sesame seeds in a large skillet over medium heat for 6 minutes, stirring often.
Blend the roasted vegetables, toasted seeds, cilantro, basil, coriander, and remaining oil with enough cooking liquid to make a smooth sauce.
Pour the sauce into a large pot, add the cooked chicken, and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
