Preparation

Step 1

step 1

ingredients 5 Tomatillos (husked, rinsed, halved)
1 medium White Onion (sliced into two halves; one half finely diced)
1 Jalapeno Pepper (roughly chopped)
1 teaspoon Dried Mexican Oregano
1 teaspoon Cumin
1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
2 Garlic cloves
1/2 bunch Parsley (chopped plus leaves to garnish)
2 quarts Chicken Stock (hot)

instructions Combine the tomatillos, the whole half of the onion, jalapeno (less for less heat,) oregano, cumin, maple syrup, garlic, and parsley in a blender with 1 cup hot chicken stock. Puree until completely smooth.

step 2

ingredients Olive Oil
4 Chicken Thighs (bone-in; skin-on)

instructions In a large dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and freshly ground pepper. Cook the chicken thighs for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove to a plate. Deglaze the dutch oven with the pureed mixture. Bring to a simmer and reduce the sauce by half. Meanwhile, remove the chicken thigh meat from the bone and shred.

step 3

ingredients 2 15-ounce cans Hominy (drained and rinsed)
1/4 cup fresh Orange Juice

instructions Once the sauce has reduced by half, add the remaining chicken stock and hominy. Season with orange juice to taste. Bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer, cooking until hominy has heated through, about 10 minutes. Check seasoning, adjusting to taste.

step 4

ingredients Radishes (thinly sliced)
Avocado (cubed)
Parsley Leaves
Lime wedges
Sour Cream

instructions For Serving: Spoon over bowls with shredded chicken, reserved onion, radish, avocados, parsley leaves, sour cream, and season with lots of freshly squeezed lime juice.
