Delicious Green Chili with Chicken: A Taste Right out of the Southwest


You will Need:

8 cups Fat-Free Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth
1 Onion, Finely Chopped
2lbs Chicken Breast
2 Packages Knorr Roasted Chicken Gravy Mix
3 cans (7oz) Mild Diced Green Chilies
6 Cloves Garlic Minced
1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
2 Jalapenos, Seeded and Chopped
1 can White Hominy, (28oz) drained
1 Tomato, Diced
1/2 cup Fat-Free Greek Yogurt or sour cream




Cooking Instructions:
1. In a large pot, combine chicken broth, onion and chicken breasts.  Heat to boil on high heat.  Reduce to low heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center (about 20 minutes).  Remove chicken from the broth and set aside to cool.

2. Whisk gravy into broth.  Add chilies, garlic, cilantro, cumin, jalapenos and hominy.  Bring to boil over medium-high heat then reduce to low.

3.  Shred the cooked chicken with two forks or with electric mixer (you can use the bread kneading attachment to shred cooked chicken).  Add the shredded chicken back to the broth and simmer for 40 minutes. 

4. Garnish with tomatoes and sour cream or greek yogurt.
