Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 1.5 lbs raw chicken)
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can 15 oz hominy, drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups tomatillos husked and quartered
  • 1-2 jalapeño peppers seeded and chopped (adjust for spice preference)

  3. Add the tomatillos to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

  5. Let the pozole simmer for 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  6. Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving.
