Slow Cooker Green Pozole with Chicken #Foodie Friday #Food of the World

Yum
Green Pozole with Chicken- simplelivingeating.com


When I was researching recipes for this month's Food of the World visit to Mexico I was immediately drawn to Green Pozole. It is light compared to a lot of Mexican dishes, and I was certain I could come up with an easy slow cooker version.


Success...not only was this easy to make, it was delicious. This is the kind of meal you can eat year round. It works when it is hot outside and you don't want to stand over a grill or heat up your kitchen with the oven or when it is cold outside and you need something a little spicy to warm you up.

Slow Cooker Green Pozole with Chicken

by Diane Balch
simplelivingeating.com

preparation time: 15 minutes                                  serves: 4 to 6


 Ingredients:

 2 pounds of boneless, skinless, chicken thighs 
1 large onion chopped
2 15.5 ounce cans of Hominy drained but not rinsed
2 12 ounce cans Salsa Verde (I used Trader Joes)
1 cup chicken broth
3 cloves garlic chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne (or more depending on how hot your salsa verde is)
Garnish ideas: sour cream, avocados, lime, pork rinds, Colby or Monterey Jack cheese. 

 Directions:

 1) Pour chicken broth into a large mixing bowl. Add all ingredients except the chicken and mix.

 2) Put chicken in the slow cooker and pour mixture over it. ( The chicken doesn't have to be frozen but I think it keeps it from over cooking.)

 3) Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. 

 Best served over rice or with tortillas.

This is presented as an appetizer but I could put this over some cous cous or rice and make it a meal. A nice change from eggplant parmesan.

I love one pot meals especially healthy ones with interesting seasoning.

This looks like serious comfort food and if you cook often you may already have all of the ingredients in you pantry.

    I love that bowl you've used to serve the Pozole!
    I've never had Pozole, but it makes me think of my dad. When I was growing up, he ate hominy often. Thanks for the party!

      Hominy is new to me and that bowl I've had forever. A local potter made it. Thanks.

      The tahini sauce is such a great twist... make it very Middle Eastern.

    Diane,
    Thanks for hosting the party. I've never tried pozole but it looks delicious. I think I've only had the fattening Mexican food.

      I think it's the Americans that over load Mexican food with cheese... maybe because we used to not be able to handle the spices. I even bought a Mexican Slow Cooker Cookbook I fell in love with traditional Mexican food so much.

      I'm guessing hominy might be hard to come by in your part of the world? Good to see you Winnie.

    Thanks for hosting Diane and featuring my eggplant with tahini. My friend made posole from her mother's recipe the first time I had it. I love the taste of the hominy. I love the look of the Iraqi style rice as well. I would love to be able to duplicate the rice from my favorite Persian restaurant so I always check out rice dishes from that area of the world. Have a great weekend! :)
