Preheat oven to 450°F. Place the tomatillos, jalapenos, garlic, and onion on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes on the upper rack of the oven, turning vegetables halfway through at 10 minutes. If you're cooking the chicken for this recipe and not using a rotisserie-cooked chicken (see notes), cook chicken while vegetables are roasting.
Remove roasted vegetables from oven and let cool slightly. Lower oven heat to 350°F. Blend cooked vegetables in a blender on low for a few seconds. Add cilantro leaves and salt to blender. Pulse a few times until blended. Mixture should be smooth but with seeds still visible and not completely blended.
Add heavy cream—½ cup for a more tangy, acidic sauce, and 1 full cup for a creamier, richer sauce. Taste and add more salt if needed. Add ¾ cup of the sauce to the shredded chicken and mix together. Set both aside. If using corn tortillas, wrap in a paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds (more or less) until tortillas are warm and pliable.
