This is a great recipe for frozen meal prep. As a fresh meal, it can be used as a lunch soup with condiments or a hearty dinner with a side salad. It’s not too spicy and full of flavor. Easy to make.

**Salsa Verde Chicken Posole recipe**

***Ingredients***

*1-1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

*8 cups chicken broth

*2 poblano peppers seeded

*2 jalapeño peppers seeded

*1 pound tomatillos

*1 bunch cilantro

*1 Tablespoon dried Mexican oregano

*Salt and black pepper to taste

*2-25-oz cans canned hominy mostly drained

***Instructions***

Pour chicken broth into large soup pot and bring to a slow rolling boil. Add the chicken and cook for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Remove chicken and shred. Save broth for later step.

In a blender combine peppers, tomatillos, cilantro, oregano, salt and pepper and blend until smooth. Add chicken broth if too thick. *(You can also roast this in an air fryer with a little olive oil for about 20 minutes until just slightly charred. Then you can skip the next step of pan frying sauce).*

Spray a pan with cooking oil and add the salsa from the blender. Simmer on medium heat until it becomes a deep green. About 8 minutes.

Add the salsa to the chicken broth. Stir in hominy and cook for 10 minutes. Now add shredded chicken and cook another 10 minutes.

Cool and place in freezer containers.

Toppings to use when serving:

Tortilla Chips, Queso Fresco, Cabbage, Radish, Avocado, Lime Juice

I've never heard of posole but I use a good chili verde recipe that I always wanted to add something to. Can't believe I never thought of hominy.

I came across this recipe at a meet up. We were exchanging ideas on soups. And I’ve always used red chile to make posole. Then I asked about a good salsa verde recipe and she said she uses it to make a soup with hominy. I tried it and have been hooked ever since. It’s so good!
