Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 chopped onion, 1 diced jalapeño, and 1 diced poblano pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in 4 minced garlic cloves and 4 husked tomatillos, cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes until softened.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender, adding 1 cup of chicken broth and a handful of fresh cilantro. Blend until smooth.
- Return the blended mixture to the pot, add the remaining chicken broth, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, and 1 bay leaf. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Add the chicken to the boiling broth. Reduce heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for about 30 minutes.
- Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot with 2 cans of drained hominy. Cook uncovered for another 10 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with chicken bouillon, salt, and black pepper as needed.
- Ladle the Chicken Pozole Verde into bowls and serve with optional toppings.
