Best Crock Pot Chicken And Hominy Stew Recipes

SPICY CHICKEN AND HOMINY SOUP

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil. With a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker. In the same skillet, saute onion and garlic in drippings until tender; add to chicken., Place chipotle peppers and 1/4 cup broth in a blender or food processor; cover and process until blended. Add to chicken mixture. Stir in the hominy, chilies, seasonings and remaining broth. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until chicken is tender.

SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN-RICE STEW

Steps:

• Toss the chicken in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker with the sesame oil, grated ginger and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir in the rice to coat. Stir in the chicken broth, ginger slices and 4 cups water. Cover and cook on low until the chicken is very tender and the rice is thick, 7 to 8 hours. Stir gently a few times, then let stand, uncovered, 10 minutes. Discard the ginger slices.
• Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until golden and slightly crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a small dish. Add the bok choy stems to the skillet, season with salt and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the bok choy leaves and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
• Add the bok choy mixture and fish sauce to the slow cooker and stir gently, breaking the chicken apart slightly; season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls. Top with the fried garlic, scallions, soy sauce and hot sauce. Serve with lime wedges.

CROCK POT CHICKEN AND HOMINY STEW

Steps:

• Combine first 9 ingredients (through stock) in medium crock pot (I used a 3 1/2 quart - don't use anything bigger unless you plan to double the recipe).
• Lay chicken on top of this mixture, and top with hominy and salsa.
• Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours.
• Use two forks to pull apart the chicken, and remove bones if you used bone-in meat.

SLOW-COOKER PORK AND HOMINY STEW

Steps:

• Toss the pork and hominy with the chicken broth, salsa verde, poblanos, cilantro and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a 6-quart slow cooker. Tear 2 of the tortillas into small pieces; add to the slow cooker and toss. Cover and cook on low, 7 hours.
• Warm the remaining 8 tortillas as the label directs. Top each serving of stew with sour cream, lettuce, avocado and more cilantro. Serve with the warm tortillas.

EASY CHICKEN POSOLE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts, and cook until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 20 minutes. Remove from skillet, drain, and cool. When completely cooled, shred chicken with a fork.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic until soft and transparent, about 5 minutes. Return shredded chicken to the skillet. Stir in the chicken broth, water, oregano, salt, and chili powder. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook about 90 minutes. Stir in the hominy and cook until tender, about 15 minutes more. Taste to adjust seasonings, adding more salt and chili powder, if desired. Serve in soup bowls with1 tostada shell per serving. Garnish as desired.

EASY CROCK POT CHICKEN STEW

SLOW COOKER SALSA VERDE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the chicken thighs, salsa verde, green chiles, chopped garlic, jalapeño, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Stir to evenly combine. (Don't add salt now; jarred salsas are often high in sodium.) Cook on low until the chicken is tender and the flavors are blended, 5 to 6 hours. (If you will be away for 8 hours or more, set the cook time for 4 hours on low and set the slow cooker auto-switch to warm for the remaining time.)
• Use two forks to coarsely shred the chicken. With the heat on low, add the scallions and cilantro, and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and lime juice. Serve with rice or in tortillas, if desired, with accompaniments.

SLOW-COOKER POSOLE

Steps:

• Heat the canola oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the pork; cook and stir just until meat is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
• Place the meat in a 4 quart slow cooker. Pour the enchilada sauce over the meat. Top with the hominy, onion, chilies, garlic, cayenne pepper, and oregano. Pour in enough water to fill the slow cooker.
• Cover, and cook on High for 6 to 7 hours. Stir in the cilantro and salt. Cook on Low for 30 minutes more.
