How to Make Chicken Pozole Verde
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the hominy and cook at a steady boil for 45 minutes.
- While the hominy is cooking, shred the rotisserie chicken and set aside.
- In a small pot, add 1/2 cup of water, tomatillos, and poblano chiles. Cover and steam over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until softened. Drain and set aside to use in the sauce.
- To make the sauce: Add tomatillos, poblano chiles, onion and cilantro into a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the blended sauce into the pot with the hominy, then add the shredded rotisserie chicken. Season with chicken bouillon powder and salt to taste. Stir well to combine.
- Serve hot, garnished with shredded cabbage and sliced radishes. Enjoy with a side of Mexican sweet bread or tostadas!
Tip: Boil hominy in chicken broth for more flavor.
