Canned pantry essentials like chicken, green chiles, tomatoes and chicken broth elevate this hearty, homemade Mexican stew. Like home canning, the canning process seals in their goodness and flavor so it’s there for you anytime.

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 (5-ounce) cans canned premium white chicken breast
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 3 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles
  • 1/2 (14.5-ounce) can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 (7-ounce) can canned salsa verde
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans hominy, drained
  • 2 (14-ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth
  • Kosher salt & cracked black pepper
  • Garnishes (optional)
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup crema or sour cream
  • Crushed tortilla chips
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • thinly sliced radishes
  • 1 avocado, diced

PREPARATION

In a large Dutch oven or saucepot set over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes. Add the oregano, coriander and cumin, and cook until slightly darkened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the green chiles, chopped tomatoes, salsa verde and cook until it just comes to a boil, about 2 minutes. Add the hominy and chicken broth and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to develop. Season with salt and pepper. Add chicken and cook until heated through, 3 minutes.

To serve, divide among 4 bowls and garnish as desired.
