• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 2 cups Hominy (canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 14-ounce can Fire-roasted diced tomatoes (canned)

Directions

Step 1

Start by shredding the rotisserie chicken and setting it aside. Discard the skin and bones.

Step 2

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and diced poblano peppers. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the spices, and toast the spices for 1 minute.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth, followed by the drained hominy, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Add the shredded chicken to the pot and stir. Let the chili cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is heated through.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped cilantro and freshly squeezed lime juice. Taste the chili and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and avocado slices if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
