Pozole Verde con Pollo

Rinse and cut the whole chicken in half. Cook the chicken with water, onion, garlic cloves, bay leaves, chicken buillon cube, and salt/pepper in medium-low heat. This will take about 30 minutes to cook. Make sure that the chicken is fully submerged in water. After cooking, remove the chicken and shred it. Strain the broth into a different container and set it aside for later.

Cut the onion into large slices. Place the tomatillos, jalapeno, onion, and garlic cloves over a stove top grill pan. Evenly sautée the vegetables with a small amount of oil until they are halfway charred.

Add the charred vegetables to a blender. Add the cilantro, radish leaves, cumin, and oregano. Add a cup of chicken broth and blend everything fully.

Note: You can add a serrano pepper to the salsa verde when blending to give it extra heat.

Fry the salsa verde in a large pot using a small amount of oil for 5 minutes in medium heat, stirring every minute. On the side, strain the large can of hominy. Do not rinse the hominy, since you want all the hominy flavor.
