Instructions
1
Brown the chicken
Start by patting the chicken dry with paper towels and seasoning it with a little salt and pepper if you like. Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the chicken and brown it for about 2 minutes on each side. Once it’s lightly browned, transfer the chicken to your slow cooker.
2
Saut Onions and Spices
Turn the heat down to medium and add the onions to the same skillet. Cook them for a couple of minutes until they start to soften, then stir in the garlic, minced chile, and bouillon powder. Let everything cook together for about a minute, then pour in a cup of water and give it a good stir. Pour this mixture into the slow cooker with the chicken.
3
Add ingredients and cook
Add the rest of the water, the hominy, oregano, bay leaf, and lime juice to the slow cooker. Cover and let it cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours. The soup is ready when the chicken is tender and shreds easily.

Shred Chicken in Cooker
Use two forks to pull the chicken apart right in the slow cooker, then ladle the soup into bowls. Let everyone add their favorite toppings and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions
Serve with fresh shredded cabbage, chopped radishes, lime wedges, and sliced avocado on the side. Corn tortillas or warm tostadas work great to scoop up the pozole. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a dash of hot sauce can add a nice bright finish.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if it seems too thick. This pozole also freezes well—just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
