Arroz con Pollo (Chicken with Rice)
Green Chicken Pozole
| By : |
Pozole verde is a traditional Mexican soup that can be made with either chicken or pork in a salsa verde broth. The broth gets its vibrant green color from my homemade Spicy Salsa Verde (page 24), made with fresh tomatillos and green chiles. And just like with traditional pozole, the garnishes—finely shredded cabbage or lettuce, chopped onion, sliced radishes, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice—play just as important a role as the chicken and hominy.

Leslie Limón is a food blogger who resides in a small town nestled in the Mexican highlands -- just two hours north of Guadalajara -- from where she shares her love of Mexican cuisine on her blog, La Cocina de Leslie. Raised by her Mexican grandparents in Redlands, California, Leslie grew up eating homemade, authentic Mexican food from the states of Sonora and Chihuahua. Her earliest memories of tacos are of helping to roll balls of masa and flattening them in a tortilla press while her grandmother gently laid them on a hot cast-iron comal. Leslie thought she knew just about everything there was to know about Mexican food, but upon moving to Mexico she discovered that Mexican food varies from state to state and sometimes even region to region. This book is a celebration of all things tacos, because a life without tacos is no life at all.
