Ingredients:

For the broth:

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (or bone-in for richer flavor)

  • 2 quarts (8 cups) low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 large onion, quartered

  • 6 cloves garlic, smashed

  • 1 bay leaf

  • Salt to taste

For the green sauce:

  • 1 lb tomatillos, husked and rinsed

  • 2 poblano peppers, seeds removed

  • 1–2 jalapeños (optional, for heat)

  • 1 bunch cilantro

  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach (optional for a vibrant green color)

  • 1 small white onion

  • 3 cloves garlic

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1/2 tsp oregano

Other:

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

  • Juice of 1 lime


🔥 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.
