1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, sliced or minced
1 can (15 ounce size) white hominy, drained
1 can (14 ounce size) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (28 ounce size) tomatillos, drained and chopped
1 can (4 ounce size) mild green chiles
salt and pepper to taste
Add all the ingredients to the crock pot and mix well. Add salt and pepper if desired.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or until the chicken is cooked and tender. Stir before serving and adjust seasoning as needed.
