    How to Make White Chicken Chili with Poblanos & Hominy

    1. Sauté Vegetables

    Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the finely chopped onion, diced poblano peppers, minced jalapeños, and minced garlic. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    2. Add Spices and Chicken

    Stir in the ground cumin and coriander, and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the chicken breast pieces and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

    3. Simmer with Broth and Hominy

    Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and add the drained and rinsed hominy. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 8 minutes.

    4. Finish with Sour Cream

    Once the chicken is cooked through, stir in the sour cream. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed.

    5. Serve

    Ladle the chili into bowls, topping each with chopped fresh cilantro, thinly sliced radishes, and an extra dollop of sour cream.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Roasting the Poblanos

    Roast poblanos first to add a smoky depth to your chili. Char them over a gas flame or broiler, steam in a bowl covered with plastic, then peel off skins before dicing.

    Layering Flavors with Onions and Garlic

    Caramelize onions slowly to bring out their sweetness, and add garlic towards the end of the sauté to prevent it from burning.

    Spicing it Right

    Toast spices like cumin and coriander in the pot before adding liquids to amplify their flavors.

    Acid and Freshness

    Add fresh lime juice before serving to brighten the flavors, and garnish with fresh herbs or avocado for a fresh finish.

    Resting Time

    Let the chili sit off the heat for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
