Preparation
- Mix the chile powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. black pepper in a small bowl. Pat the chicken dry and season generously with the spice mixture.
- In a heavy-duty 5-quart pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown well on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the hominy and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the chicken and shred it or cut it into chunks. Return it to the pot, stir in the cilantro, and season to taste with salt. Divide the posole among bowls and top with the garnishes and additional cilantro. Serve with the lime wedges.

user-3238474 | 05/06/2019Great quick posole! I’ve made this a couple of times, most recently for a crowd of 25 boys. It was a real hit. Everything comes together quickly, which is a bonus. I keep homemade chile powder on hand, recipe courtesy of America’s Test Kitchen, from their ground beef chili recipe.
