Chef Tips
- Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker to absorb more flavor.
- Add fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro at the end for a bright, fresh finish.
Step 1
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, then season it with salt and pepper if you like. Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and brown the chicken for about 2 minutes on each side until itโs lightly golden. Transfer the chicken to your slow cooker.
Step 2
Turn the heat down to medium and add the onions to the skillet. Cook them for a couple of minutes until they start to soften, then stir in the garlic, minced chile, and bouillon powder. Let everything cook together for about a minute. Pour in a cup of water and give it a good stir, then pour this mixture into the slow cooker.
Step 3
Add the rest of the water, the hominy, oregano, bay leaf, and lime juice to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easy to shred. Once itโs done, pull the chicken apart with two forks and stir it back into the soup. Serve it up and let everyone add their favorite toppings.
