I had to substitute La Costena verde salsa for the tomatillos, but I still blended in the cilantro and chiles (and used fat free milk). The verde salsa adds lots of spice,..but my family loves spicy! This is definitely a keeper!!! *I also didn't read and ended up mixing my salsa verde mixture to my chicken mixture before layering....so I just mixed up some of the salsa verde with some ff milk for the bottom of pan and to top off the dish...ended up using approx. 3/4 of the bottle of salsa verde for the whole casserole. Found it to be perfect in our opinion. (also omitted salt due to it already being in the bottle of verde salsa )
