Have a healthy weeknight meal with this easy chicken stew recipe. We like the bitter bite of mustard greens in this slightly spicy stew, but any dark leafy green will be delicious. The cabbage on top adds crunch.

  • Add onion and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add greens and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 1 minute. Add broth, hominy and the chicken along with any accumulated juices. Bring to a simmer. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook until the chicken is very tender, about 15 minutes.

  • Remove the chicken to a clean cutting board and shred with two forks. Return to the pot and stir in salsa. Serve the stew topped with cabbage and sour cream, with lime wedges, if desired.

Tips

Tip: Hominy's beanlike bites are made by removing the tough hull and germ from dried corn, leaving behind a fiber-packed kernel that gets chewy when cooked, adding good texture to this chicken stew. Find canned hominy at the grocery store near the beans.
