Jocón (Guatemalan green chicken stew)
Highland Guatemala — particularly Huehuetenango and Quiché departments; Maya Q'anjob'al tradition
Jocón is a Guatemalan green stew of chicken in a sauce made from tomatillos, green onion (cebollín), cilantro, pepitoria, and fresh green chiles. Unlike pepián verde, jocón does not rely primarily on dried seeds for body — the sauce is lighter and more herb-dominated. It is particularly associated with the Huehuetenango department and highland Maya communities. Served with corn tortillas and white rice.
