Here is how you make Green Posole with Chicken:

Cook chicken:Bring 8 cups water, bay leaf, half of onion, half of garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil, covered, in a 6-quart heavy pot, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Add chicken and poach at a bare simmer, uncovered, skimming off any foam, until just cooked through, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board to cool. Pour broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids, and reserve. When chicken is cool enough to handle, coarsely shred with your fingers.Make sauce while chicken cools:Cook pumpkin seeds in a dry small skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally, until puffed but not browned (seeds will pop as they puff), 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool completely, then finely grind in coffee/spice grinder.Simmer tomatillos and remaining onion in remaining cup water in a 3-quart saucepan, covered, until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain vegetables and pur?e in a blender with jalape?os, 1/4 cup cilantro, epazote, remaining garlic, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.Heat oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then add pur?e (use caution as it will splatter and steam). Cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in pumpkin seeds and 1 cup reserved broth and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken, hominy, and 3 more cups reserved broth and simmer, partially covered, 20 minutes.Stir in remaining 1/2 cup cilantro and serve posole in deep bowls with accompaniments.Read More http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Green-Pozole-with-Chicken-107749#ixzz1LWqYML1jServing Size: makes 6 generous bowlsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user NMMAMA2011.
