Why This Recipe Is So Enjoyable

This stew is packed with vibrant flavors and wholesome ingredients. The combination of tender chicken, hominy, and green chile sauce creates a comforting and hearty meal. It’s perfect for sharing with family or friends on a cozy night.

Cooking Techniques

- Use bone-in chicken thighs for more flavor and juiciness.
- Simmer the stew gently to let the flavors meld without overcooking the chicken.
- Rinse the hominy well to reduce excess salt and improve texture.

Step 1

Put the chicken breasts in your slow cooker and let them cook on low for about 4 and a half hours, or until they’re no longer pink inside and the juices run clear. You can check with a meat thermometer—it should read 165°F. Once cooked, shred the chicken right in a big pot. Stir in the cumin, black pepper, adobo seasoning, and a good squeeze of lime juice.

Step 2

Toss the tomatillos and serrano peppers into a microwave-safe bag, seal it, and poke a few holes to let the steam escape. Microwave for 4 to 5 minutes until they’re nice and soft. Then, blend those softened veggies with the onion, garlic, cilantro, and salt until you get a smooth salsa verde.

Step 3

Add the shredded chicken, chicken stock, and hominy into the pot, then pour in about half of your salsa verde. Let everything simmer over medium heat for around 30 minutes so the flavors can really come together. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning if you want, then it’s ready to serve!

Serving Advice

Serve this stew hot with warm corn tortillas or crusty bread. Garnish with fresh cilantro, diced onions, and a squeeze of lime to brighten the flavors. A side of sliced avocado or a simple green salad complements the dish nicely.

Best Storage Tips

Allow the stew to cool before storing it in an airtight container. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This dish also freezes beautifully—just thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently on the stove.
