I've never heard a good thing about hominy, and had never eaten it before last night when I had this delicious chicken chili at friend's house!
White Chili with Hominy
1 lb. boneless chicken breast, cooked & cubed (or a deboned rotisserie chicken)
1 onion, chopped
1 TBSP vegetable oil
1 can white hominy (15.5 oz, drained)
1 can white kidney of canellini beans (15 oz., drained & rinsed)
15 oz. organic chicken broth (preferably Kitchen Basics brand)
2 cans chopped green chilies (4 oz. each)
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. dried basil
1 TBSP ground cumin (or more, to taste)
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup half & half
Toppings:
Fresh cilantro, minced
Shredded cheddar cheese
Diced jalapeños
In a large sauce pan, saute onion in oil for about 3 minutes. Add chicken, hominy, beans, broth, chilies, and seasonings. Boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in sour cream and half & half. Serve with toppings.
