Chicken Pozole Rojo

This Red Chicken Pozole is a comforting dream in a bowl. Filled with spicy chiles, white hominy, and topped with tons of crunchy veggies. This traditional Mexican soup is fancy enough for company and easy enough to serve on a casual weeknight.

Notes

  • Nutrition does not include toppings/garnishes.
  • Instant Pot Directions: I recommend cooking the chicken breast in the Instant Pot first following the Instant Pot directions in this post. Once the chicken is cooked and shredded, add the broth, red chile sauce, and the White Hominy. Set the Instant Pot to cook at high pressure for 5 minutes. Release the pressure manually.
