1. Combine first 9 ingredients (through stock) in medium crock pot (I used a 3 1/2 quart - don't use anything bigger unless you plan to double the recipe).
2. Lay chicken on top of this mixture, and top with hominy and salsa.

4. Use two forks to pull apart the chicken, and remove bones if you used bone-in meat.
