Description

My version of posole, made with chicken breast instead of pork shoulder.

Ingredients

  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 whole Large Onion, Chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast Diced
  • 3 cups Chicken Broth Or Water
  • 2 Tablespoons Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Mild Chili Powder
  • 1 can (4 Oz. Size) Diced Green Chiles (optional)
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Can) Yellow Hominy
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Can) White Hominy
  • ¼ whole Small Cabbage, Shredded Finely
  • 1 whole Lime, Quartered
  • 8 pieces 6" Corn Tortillas
  • Sour Cream, To Serve

Preparation

Reserve four tablespoons of chopped onion for garnish.

Combine garlic, onion and butter in a 4-quart pan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. When onion looks slightly transparent, add chicken.

In a separate bowl, pour one cup of broth, flour and chili powder and mix well. Add green chilies to the pan, then the flour mixture. Mix well, add hominy, remaining 2 cups of broth and cook for another 15 minutes at a slow boil.

Shred cabbage. Slice the lime. Warm corn tortillas in a skillet.

Serve the posole garnished with a handful of cabbage, a dollop of sour cream, a tablespoon of chopped onion and lime juice squeezed on top.

Loved this recipe! I love hominy, and this was a delicious way to use it. I first marinated my chicken with lime juice and a mixture of mexican seasonings which I think added to the flavor of the Posole. Also, the recipe submitter forgot to include garlic on the list of ingredients, but it is in the instructions. 1-2 cloves worked for me. I served this with guacamole, grated cheese, warm homemade tortillas, and chips in addition to the sour cream recommended. My whole family liked it. However, if you have small children, you may want to half the chili powder or green chilies.

This recipe was good. I loved the cabbage and lime juice, it really finished the dish off well and the cabbage gave a nice texture. If I make it again, I might try using frozen hominy instead of canned just for a better texture. The canned was a bit mushy for me.
