6 cloves garlic, smashed

1 bay leaf

Salt to taste
For the green sauce:

-
2 poblano peppers, seeds removed
-
1–2 jalapeños (optional, for heat)

1 bunch cilantro

Other:

2 (25 oz) cans hominy, drained and rinsed (or 4 cups cooked hominy)

🔥 Instructions:
1. Cook the Chicken:
-
In your Platinum 12 QT Stock Pot, add chicken, broth, quartered onion, garlic, bay leaf, and a pinch of salt.
-
Cover and cook over medium heat using the Platinum Vapor Seal™ method (when the lid spins freely, reduce to low).
-
Simmer for about 25–30 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked.
-
Remove chicken and shred. Strain and reserve the broth.
2. Make the Green Sauce:
-
In the same pot (or a separate pan), boil tomatillos, poblano, and jalapeño for 5–7 minutes until soft. Drain.
-
Blend with cilantro, spinach, white onion, garlic, cumin, and oregano until smooth.
3. Combine Everything:
-
Return the reserved broth to your Platinum pot. Stir in the green sauce, hominy, and shredded chicken.
-
Simmer uncovered for another 20–30 minutes, letting the flavors blend. Add lime juice and adjust salt to taste.
