...Perfect for dinner on a rainy evening...absolutely tasty & FAST!! :)



Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 3 stalks of celery--finely chopped
  • 2 (14.5) oz cans diced tomatoes
  • 1 small can green chilies

  • 1 (15 oz) can white hominy, rinsed and drained
  • 2.5 cups chopped skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken breast
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice
  • Fresh cilantro to taste
  • Salt & Pepper to taste (I added some garlic salt too)
  • Avocado and lime wedges for garnish.
1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add oregano and next 4 ingredients (through onion and celery)--Saute for 2 minutes.
2. Stir in tomatoes and green chilies--cook for 1 minute.
3. Add broth and hominy--cover and bring to boil.
4. Uncover and cook for 8 minutes.
5. Stir in chicken and fresh cilantro--cook for 1 minute.
