Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 cup chopped white onion
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 quart chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce add more if you like spicy food
- 1 cup white hominy

- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions
- Place 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pot. Season chicken breast with salt. Cook the chicken breast over medium heat for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side. (The chicken should be fully cooked). Remove chicken from the pot, and when cool to the touch, shred the chicken.
- Place one tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same pot where the chicken was cooked. Saute garlic and onion until the onion is translucent. Add celery and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Add tomato paste, and stir well. Saute for about 1 minute stirring constantly, add chicken stock.
- Add chipotle peppers, hominy, green chilis, diced tomatoes, and shredded chicken. Cook until the soup has heated through.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice, and about 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro.
- If desired you can use corn chips, or slice a few corn tortillas thin, and fry them in vegetable oil until very crisp.
- Garnish soup with fried corn tortilla strips, chopped cilantro, and shredded cheese if desired.

Notes
- Don't let that extra tomato paste go to waste, freeze the extra for another recipe.
- You can use left over cooked chicken for this recipe if desired
