Vegetarian Slow Cooker Chicken Posole Stew Recipe

Day 53.



Chicken Posole Stew..."chicken," yummy spices and veggies. What's not to like? I love Mexican Tuesday. :) I served ours with homemade bread. I ended up throwing the cubed bread into the soup for our toddler because I got a little heavy-handed with the cayenne.





Slow Cooker Chicken Posole Stew

serves 4 ? 6

Adapted from Chicken Posole

Ingredients

For the stew:

4 C "chicken"

2 (15 ounce) cans golden hominy, rinsed and drained (I didn't get to the store, so I subbed corn)

3 C vegetable stock

2 (14.5 ounce) cans of diced tomatoes

3 carrots, peeled and sliced into thin rounds

3 scallions, both green and white parts, sliced thinly

3 cloves of garlic, minced

1 Tbsp. cumin

2 tsp. light ancho chili powder

1 1/2 tsp. Mexican oregano

1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper

1 tsp. salt, or to taste (I left it out)

½ tsp. fresh ground black pepper



Optional toppings:

Chopped cilantro

Queso Fresco or other good quality Mexican cheese (montery jack would work)

Shredded radishes (Use the large holes on your box grater)

Avocado

Sour cream

Gluten-Free Tortilla chips



Directions

Place chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker. Put remaining ingredients in and stir to mix in spices.



Cover and cook on low for 5 ? 6 hours, or until carrots are cooked through and tender.



Serve with toppings if desired.





The Results

Oh my goodness. Why have I never had this before? So delicious and spicy (I added a little extra cayenne). This would be a vegan recipe, except for the fact that I used Quorn tenders (which have egg whites in them). I really liked the dish a lot. It's one of those things I've heard of before and never had (due to it's real chicken component). Love it.
