Chicken Pozole Verde Soup
Our first recipe this month is Chicken Pozole Verde Soup. It’s a standard Mexican recipe and everyone has their own twist on it, our chefs included. We have been working on a green chili seasoning that really punches up this and many other dishes. Request a sample from your sales person and try this out!
Ingredients
2 ¾ tsp Green chili seasoning –NWF (sprinkled onto chicken before cooking and added into onions)
16 oz- Raw Chicken thighs (with 1 ½ tsp seasoning applied)
