Slowcookerchickenpozole Recipes

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown lightly, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to 6-quart slow cooker. Reduce heat to medium and add onions to skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until onions begin to soften. Stir in garlic, minced chile and bouillon powder; continue cooking 1 minute. Pour in 1 cup water and stir well. Remove from heat and pour into slow cooker. Add remaining water, hominy, oregano, bay leaf and lime juice.
• Cover and heat for 4 to 6 hours on LOW or 3 to 4 hours on HIGH. The soup is ready when the chicken is tender and can be easily pulled apart. Shred chicken using two forks to pull apart. Ladle soup into bowls and let guests garnish the soup as desired.

Steps:

• Drain hominy, combine hominy, rotel tomatoes, enchilada sauce, diced carrots, diced onion to a 4 quart slow cooker
• Mince garlic, add to cooker, add cumin.
• Remove skin from chicken thighs.
• add to slow cooker.
• Cover and cook 3-4 hours until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender; skim and discard any fat from the surface.
• Remove chicken; pull meat off bones and chop into smaller pieces if needed.
• Stir back into the slow cooker.
• Add chopped cilantro.
• Ladle into soup bowl.
• Serve with lime wedges, thinly sliced radishes in soup, red pepper flakes and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.

Steps:

• Combine chicken, garlic, hominy, onion, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, bouillon cubes and water in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 5 hours.
• Remove cover and stir in tomatoes, lime juice, salt and pepper until warmed through. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine the onion, carrot, celery and garlic in a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker. Pull the whole chiles out of the can of chipotles in adobo (use only half if you prefer the finished dish to be medium-spicy), and roughly chop them. Add the chiles and all the adobo sauce to the slow cooker as well as the onion and garlic powders and cumin. Pull the skin from half of the chicken legs and discard it, or save to render the fat at another time. (Start at the thigh and pull the skin off the drumstick as if removing a glove; it should come off fairly easily.)
• Add the chicken legs to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Pour in the broth. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt if you are using low-sodium broth or 1 teaspoon salt if using homemade unsalted stock. Do not add salt now if you are using fully salted broth. Cook on low until the chicken is tender and the broth is flavorful, at least 4 hours and up to 6 hours. If it's more convenient, let the slow cooker switch to warm after 6 hours. The soup will hold on warm for about an additional 2 hours before the chicken dries out.
• Switch the heat to high. With tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the chicken and vegetables to a bowl. Discard the vegetables and let the chicken cool while you finish the soup. Using an immersion blender (see Tip), purée the broth. (It will be mostly smooth but some small flecks of pepper skin may remain.) Stir in the corn, pozole and lime juice. Shred the chicken meat, discarding the bones and skin, and add it into the soup. Replace the cover, let the ingredients warm through and serve the soup in bowls with the toppings of your choice.

Steps:

• In a big non-stick skillet, heat the oil.
• Cook the pork, turning occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides (do in batches if necessary).
• Transfer pork with a slotted spoon to a 4 quart slow-cooker.

• Sauté about 5 minutes or until the onion is softened.
• Add in the garlic, cook and stir for 1 minute.
• Transfer vegetables to slow cooker; add in water, chicken broth, marjoram, oregano, salt, and pepper to slow cooker; stir to combine.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours.
• Add in hominy and cook 10 minutes or until well heated.
• Ladle into individual bowls; garnish with cheese, peppers, and olives.
