Chipotle Chicken Posole image

Typically posole is made with pork and sometimes beef. I got an email the other day for a posole made with turkey. It looked interesting and I did a little playing with it and came up with a nice warming soup.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 chipotle pepper, in adobe minced
1 (10 ounce) can tomatoes and green chili peppers (Rotel)
1 (29 ounce) can white hominy, drained and rinsed (posole)
2 -3 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
cilantro
avocado, diced
onion, minced
lime wedge

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breasts in a medium size pot. Add in bay leaves and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until chicken is cooked through, approximately 15 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from water and reserve the cooking liquid. When chicken is cool enough to handle, shred with 2 forks. Set aside.
  • In a 4 qt dutch oven heat the olive oil. When warm add in chopped onion and garlic. Cook stirring frequently until onion is wilted and begins to brown lightly. Add in the minced chipotle, tomatoes, hominy, reserved cooking liquid and about 2 cups of chicken stock.
  • Crush the oregano and add to the pot along with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a gently boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld adding additional stock as needed.
  • Serve in bowls with desired garnishes.

This posole was a great way to use up some leftover chicken. It was easy to make and very flavorful.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my posole came out really bland. I think I must have forgotten to add some of the spices.

This posole is a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. Next time, I'll use less chipotle.

This posole was a bit too thick for my taste. Next time, I'll add more broth.

This posole was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This recipe was easy to follow and the posole turned out great! I used a rotisserie chicken to save time, and it still came out delicious.
