Chicken And Hominy Recipes

CHILI CHICKEN WITH HOMINY HASH

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil. Mix 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt, the cinnamon and lime zest in a bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, then transfer to one of the baking sheets; set aside until ready to roast.
• Toss the hominy, squash, bell pepper, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each chili powder and cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Spread on the other baking sheet.
• Transfer the chicken to the upper oven rack and the hominy to the lower rack. Roast, stirring the hominy occasionally, until the hominy is lightly browned and the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
• Transfer the hominy to a bowl and add the lime juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the scallions and cilantro. Season with salt and toss. Serve with the chicken and lime wedges.

• In a large pot (5 quarts), warm oil over medium-high heat. Brown chicken until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add onion, garlic, and chile; cook, stirring often, until onion softens, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Cut browned chicken into 1/2-inch strips. Add chicken, broth, and beans to pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to an active simmer, and cook until chicken is very tender and chili has thickened, 25 to 30 minutes.

CHICKEN AND HOMINY SOUP WITH LIME AND CILANTRO

Steps:

Reduce heat and simmer until flavors have blended, about 15 minutes. Garnish soup with cilantro just before serving.

SAUTEED CHICKEN WITH HOMINY CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into 8 pieces. Rinse it under cold water and pat dry. Heat the butter in a skillet and when it foams, quickly sauté the chicken pieces, turning them so that they cook on both sides but do not brown. This seizes the skin so it does not shrivel during cooking. Drain the chicken on paper towels.
• Put the hominy in a 2-quart casserole with a lid. Lay the chicken pieces on top and cover with an even layer of onion, sliced mushrooms, and carrot. Add the bay leaf and sprinkle the pepper and dried thyme over the vegetables. Add the wine and cover the casserole.
• Cook in a preheated 325°F degree oven for 45 minutes. About 5 minutes before the casserole is finished cooking, add the salt and parsley. Take it from the oven and remove the bay leaf. Taste and add the cream if you want it. I do not always add it.

SPICE-RUBBED CHICKEN WITH HOMINY SAUTE

Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make hominy saute: In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add hominy and scallions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions are softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes; cook until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and add vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle chicken with pan juices, if desired, and serve with hominy saute.
