Chicken Posole Stew is a Mexican stew, originally made with pork. You can make Posole a million different ways but the one constant ingredient is hominy.
Hominy is just dried corn that has been soaked until the hull can be removed. It gives this Chicken Posole Stew a rich corn tortilla flavor and makes it satisfying. Hominy is either white or yellow and can usually be found in the canned vegetable section of your grocery store.
Because it’s so lean, breast meat cooked in the slow cooker can get a little dry. A favorite trick of mine whenever I cook any meat is to salt it with about ½ teaspoon of kosher salt several hours before cooking – or even overnight. This helps the meat stay really nice and moist. Don’t worry about the meat being too salty. That won’t happen.
By using a slow cooker, you can cut down on prep time and have a hot, delicious meal waiting for you when you return home. Plus, slow cookers are energy-efficient, which means you'll also save on your energy bill.
