  • 2 15 oz cans of white hominy or one 24 oz can, drained and rinsed
  • 1-2 roasted Hatch, Pueblo, or Anaheim green chiles, peeled and diced (can sub 2 7oz cans of green chiles)
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth

  • Sliced pickled jalapeños and the juice for additional spice

Instructions
 

  • Gather and prepare all of the canned products.
  • Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant.
  • Add the drained canned chicken and use the back of the spoon to break up any big pieces.
  • Add the drained and rinsed beans and hominy.
  • Add the green chiles and chicken broth.
  • Add the cumin and season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir everything together and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes to allow all of the flavors to come together. Add more salt and pepper as needed.
  • Serve with any of the garnishes listed.

Notes

  • Replace the canned chicken with 4 cups of rotisserie chicken or your own leftover cooked chicken.
  • For more spice, add additional chopped green chiles than what's indicated. However, if you like less spice, add less chiles or remove the seeds and veins.
  • See blog post for suggestions on how to serve using the toppings listed and ideas for variations on certain ingredients.
