Serves 8
3 TBSP Olive Oil

2 - 7-oz cans diced green chiles ( NOT hot ones!)
3/4 cup canned chicken broth
1/2 tsp salt
(OPTIONAL: add sliced mushrooms and sliced zucchini or other vegetables the last 5 to 7 minutes of cooking time. You don't want them to be mushy, just fork tender!)

Add pork & flour, saute 3 - 5 minutes more.
Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer
Cover partially and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until meat is cooked & sauce is thickened.
