Chicken Posole Verde image

It is more authentic using chicken breast halves with bones and skin but I wanted to lighten it up a bit. You can top with finely chopped onion, diced avocado, sour cream, tortilla chips and lime wedges- if desired.

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

7 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
4 boneless chicken breasts, halves
1 lb tomatillo, husked and halved
1 small onion, quartered
2 poblano chiles (cored, seeded and quartered)
2 jalapenos, seeded and quartered
4 large garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon oregano leaves
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 (15 ounce) cans white hominy, drained

Steps:

  • In a large pot bring the chicken stock and water to a boil. Add the chicken breasts and simmer over very low heat until they're tender and cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate and shred the meat.
  • In a blender or food processor combine the halved tomatillos with the quartered onion, poblanos and jalapeƱos, smashed garlic, chopped cilantro and oregano. Pulse until coarsely chopped; stopping occasionally and scraping down the side. With the machine on, add 1 cup of the broth and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering. Add the tomatillo puree and cook over medium heat, until the sauce turns a deep green, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes.
  • Pour the green sauce into the broth in the casserole. Add the hominy and bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Add the shredded chicken to the stew, season with salt and pepper and cook just until heated through.
  • Serve the pozole in deep bowls, topping with onion, avocado, sour cream, tortilla chips and lime wedges if desired. We just usually eat it with a sprinkling of tortilla strips.
