Clock

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp canola oil
  • 1¼ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tsp ground cumin, divided
  • ½ tsp kosher salt, divided
  • ½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 medium red bell peppers, chopped
  • 2 cups sliced carrots
  • 1½ cups chopped red onion
  • 3 Tbsp water
  • 2 cups rinsed canned hominy
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (4-oz) can diced green chiles
  • 2 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1 firm ripe avocado, diced

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sprinkle with 1 tsp cumin and ¼ tsp salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with cilantro. Cover to keep warm.
  2. Add bell peppers, carrots, onion, water and the remaining ¼ tsp salt to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in hominy, garlic and the remaining 2 tsp cumin; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in green chiles and lime juice and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Serve the chicken over the hominy mixture, topped with avocado.
