Made so easily right in your crockpot! Loaded with shredded chicken, hominy and green chiles. So cozy, so good.
Chicken posole is a traditional Mexican stew, typically made with hominy, stewed meat and all the toppings (shredded cabbage, sliced radishes, avocado, and/or lime wedges).
This crockpot version is our take on this lovely classic, made so easily right in the slow cooker for an all-day simmer.
Not to mention the bone-in chicken thighs yielding the most flavorful chicken stock. If needed, boneless chicken thighs (or breasts) can work as an appropriate sub (but I highly recommend bone-in for extra flavor).
When ready to serve, sprinkle on some of your favorite desired toppings for a complete hearty meal.
