Chicken And Hominy Recipes

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil. Mix 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt, the cinnamon and lime zest in a bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, then transfer to one of the baking sheets; set aside until ready to roast.
• Toss the hominy, squash, bell pepper, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each chili powder and cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Spread on the other baking sheet.
• Transfer the chicken to the upper oven rack and the hominy to the lower rack. Roast, stirring the hominy occasionally, until the hominy is lightly browned and the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
• Transfer the hominy to a bowl and add the lime juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the scallions and cilantro. Season with salt and toss. Serve with the chicken and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat; stir cumin and paprika into hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth, hominy, chicken, diced tomatoes and juice, water, green onions, lime juice, and hot sauce to seasoned oil; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until flavors have blended, about 15 minutes. Garnish soup with cilantro just before serving.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts, and cook until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 20 minutes. Remove from skillet, drain, and cool. When completely cooled, shred chicken with a fork.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic until soft and transparent, about 5 minutes. Return shredded chicken to the skillet. Stir in the chicken broth, water, oregano, salt, and chili powder. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook about 90 minutes. Stir in the hominy and cook until tender, about 15 minutes more. Taste to adjust seasonings, adding more salt and chili powder, if desired. Serve in soup bowls with1 tostada shell per serving. Garnish as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, combine paprika, chile powder, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet, and rub with spice mixture. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make hominy saute: In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add hominy and scallions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions are softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes; cook until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and add vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle chicken with pan juices, if desired, and serve with hominy saute.

Steps:

• In a large pot (5 quarts), warm oil over medium-high heat. Brown chicken until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add onion, garlic, and chile; cook, stirring often, until onion softens, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Cut browned chicken into 1/2-inch strips. Add chicken, broth, and beans to pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to an active simmer, and cook until chicken is very tender and chili has thickened, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Reserve 1/2 cup hominy to use as garnish; stir remaining hominy into chili. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls; garnish each serving with reserved hominy and cilantro, and drizzle with jalapeno sauce, as desired.

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into 8 pieces. Rinse it under cold water and pat dry. Season with garlic salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a skillet and when it foams, quickly sauté the chicken pieces, turning them so that they cook on both sides but do not brown. This seizes the skin so it does not shrivel during cooking. Drain the chicken on paper towels.
• Put the hominy in a 2-quart casserole with a lid. Lay the chicken pieces on top and cover with an even layer of onion, sliced mushrooms, and carrot. Add the bay leaf and sprinkle the pepper and dried thyme over the vegetables. Add the wine and cover the casserole.
• Cook in a preheated 325°F degree oven for 45 minutes. About 5 minutes before the casserole is finished cooking, add the salt and parsley. Take it from the oven and remove the bay leaf. Taste and add the cream if you want it.
