Chicken Pozole Verde is a flavorful Mexican soup rooted in traditions dating back to pre-Columbian times. This hearty dish combines tender shredded chicken, hominy (alkali-treated corn kernels), and a vibrant green broth made from roasted tomatillos, garlic, onions, and fresh cilantro. Often spiced with jalapeños or serrano peppers, the soup delivers a mild-to-medium heat, balanced by the tangy brightness of lime juice. Traditional toppings include shredded cabbage, radishes, avocado, and a sprinkle of oregano for added freshness and texture. High in protein from the chicken and rich in vitamins from the tomatillos and vegetables, Pozole Verde can be part of a nutrient-dense meal. However, toppings like sour cream, fried tortilla strips, or high-sodium broths can add calories and salt. It’s a versatile dish that can be tailored for a lighter or more indulgent dining experience while showcasing the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine.
