One of my favorite casual restaurants in Las Vegas is Chino Latino in the Cosmopolitan Hotel. They have the best Chicken Posole Verde that I tried to duplicate at home. Serve garnished with cilantro, avocado, and lime wedges.
Ingredients
Soup
- 1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken stock
- 1 (15.5 ounce) can white hominy, drained
Chicken
- 4 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon adobo seasoning
- ½ lime, juiced
Salsa Verde
- 6 tomatillos, husked and chopped, or to taste
- 3 serrano chiles, stemmed, or to taste
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled, or to taste
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
Directions
Step 1
Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker; cook on Low until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Step 2
Shred chicken in a large pot; add cumin, black pepper, adobo seasoning, and lime juice and mix well.
Step 3
Place tomatillos and serrano peppers in a clear microwave-safe bag. Seal bag and pierce a few times with a knife to vent. Microwave until soft, 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 4
Put softened tomatillos, serrano peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro, and salt in a blender and blend until salsa verde is smooth.
Step 5
Mix chicken stock and hominy with shredded chicken in the large pot. Add half of the salsa verde to the shredded chicken.
Step 6
Simmer over medium heat until flavors are well-mixed, about 30 minutes.
Cook’s Note:
Salsa verde is a traditional green salsa recipe from the region of Monterrey, Mexico. I serve it with chips and use it as a sauce for tacos.
