Dinner 5 Hr. 10 Mins.

Ingredients

8

8 servings

  • 4 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon adobo seasoning
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • 6 tomatillos, husked and chopped, or to taste
  • 3 serrano chiles, stemmed, or to taste
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled, or to taste
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken stock
  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can white hominy, drained

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker; cook on Low until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Shred chicken in a large pot; add cumin, black pepper, adobo seasoning, and lime juice and mix well.
  • Place tomatillos and serrano peppers in a clear microwave-safe bag. Seal bag and pierce a few times with a knife to vent. Microwave until soft, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Put softened tomatillos, serrano peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro, and salt in a blender and blend until salsa verde is smooth.
  • Mix chicken stock and hominy with shredded chicken in the large pot. Add half of the salsa verde to the shredded chicken.
  • Simmer over medium heat until flavors are well-mixed, about 30 minutes.
