Love trying different versions of posole, and this was absolutely delicious. Can't find fresh shallots around here, so had to use freeze dried. Turned out very well. Probably won't be the last time to eat this. Thnx for posting, Jill.

Oh this is delicious!!!!! I used to boneless chicken breasts for the meat. This was easy and ready in no time.
