20-Minute Chicken Posole
- FOR THE POSOLE:
- 1 can (4 1/4 Oz. Size) Whole Green Chilies
- 1 quart Low-sodium Chicken Stock, Divided
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 whole Small Yellow Onion, Minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 2 cups Shredded Cooked Chicken Breast (This Is About The Amount Of Breast Meat On A Store-bought Rotisserie Chicken)
- 1 can (15 Oz. Size) White Hominy, Drained And Rinsed
- 1 pinch Salt
- FOR GARNISH:
- 1 whole Lime, Cut Into Wedges
- 1 cup Chopped Romaine

- Place the green chilies and 1/2 cup of chicken stock in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Briefly set aside until ready to use.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. When hot, add the minced onions and garlic and saute for 3 minutes until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant. (Be careful not to burn this mixture, people!) Add the oregano, cumin and chili powder and cook for 1 minute. Add the green chili puree, shredded chicken, hominy and remaining chicken stock to the Dutch oven/pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Then lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Taste your posole and season with salt.
- Ladle the posole into bowls and garnish with fresh lime juice and toppings of your choice.
