Directions

1 Place chicken in 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker. Mix tomatoes, tomato sauce and chili seasoning; pour over chicken.
2 Cover and cook on low heat setting 7 to 9 hours or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.
3 Stir to break up chicken. Stir in hominy. Cover and cook on low heat setting 15 minutes until heated through. Serve chili with sour cream and cilantro.

Note: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer’s directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

For extra spice, use hot chili seasoning instead of the mild and add a small can of Old El Paso® chopped green chiles with the tomatoes.

Vary the taste by using black beans or chili beans instead of the hominy.

Go ahead and make the chili ahead of time, and refrigerate or freeze. Chili is often better the next day because the flavors have a chance to blend.

Hominy is also called posole and is dried white or yellow corn kernels that have had the hulls removed by soaking. You can find hominy in the canned vegetable section of the grocery store.

So easy to prepare and always a winner in our household. I use marinated chicken fajita thigh meat. There is NEVER anything left over!!! BTW -- someone asked if they should use hominy or posole. As far as I know -- they are one in the same (I use white, not yellow).

Such an easy recipe to throw together! I made as is except I used fire-roasted tomatoes with chilies. The hominy was a nice twist but this would be equally delicious with black beans & corn. My husband declared this recipe a "keeper"!
