Ingredients
-
2 ½ pounds bone-in, skinless chicken breasts
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 (15 ounce) cans white hominy, drained and rinsed
-
1 ½ cups chopped yellow onions (from 1 onion)
-
4 garlic cloves, chopped (about 4 teaspoons)
-
2 teaspoons ground coriander
-
3 ¼ cups unsalted chicken stock
-
1 ½ cups chopped zucchini (from 1 zucchini)
-
2 (15 ounce) cans no-salt-added fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
-
½ cup julienned sun-dried tomatoes
-
Fresh cilantro sprigs
-
8 wedges Lime wedges
Directions
-
Trim the excess fat from the chicken breasts; sprinkle the chicken with the pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the chicken to the skillet, and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.
-
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium-high; add the hominy, onions, garlic and coriander. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the stock to the skillet, and cook 1 minute, stirring and scraping to loosen the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker.
-
Stir the zucchini, diced tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes and remaining 3 cups stock into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW until the chicken is done and the vegetables are tender, about 3 hours.
-
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and let cool. When the chicken is cool enough to handle (about 20 minutes), remove and discard the bones. Cut or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces; stir the chicken and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt into the soup. Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with the cilantro and serve with the lime wedges, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
