ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- salt (I did not use)
- pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (seed if less heat is desired)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 (6 ounce) cans whole green chilies, drained (18 oz total)
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2 (15 ounce) cans hominy, drained and rinsed (30 oz total)
-
Garnishes
- avocado, slices
- sliced radish
- tortilla chips
directions
- Season chicken with salt, pepper and 1/2 tsp thyme - I used no salt.
- Heat vegetable oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, jalapeno and garlic and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Transfer to blender.
- Add the chiles, cilantro and remaining 1/2 tsp thyme to the blender and puree until smooth. (I added a little of the broth to help it blend better).
- Return sauce to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring, until it thickens and turns deep green, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken, broth and hominy to the saucepan, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Garnish and serve. (The radishes did nothing for me, I would not use again. I did sprinkle with a little more chopped cilantro).

This dish is really delicious and one I will certainly make again. I purchased mild Hatch chilies, but they were not as mild as I expected so I left off the jalapeno. We are not big fans of hominy so I substituted some fire-roasted corn. Served this dish over rice with a side of avocado crostini. : )

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
