This quick and easy pozole Verde recipe is like a warm hug in a bowl. Filled with fresh flavors from the tomatillos, onions, and cilantro, a kick of spice from the serranos, and chicken, this delicious Mexican-style stew is perfect for cold days. The traditional recipe is hominy-based, but feel free to use chickpeas if you don’t have any hominy grits.
