Step 1

To a small skillet, set over medium-low heat, add the pumpkin seeds and a pinch of salt. Toast for about 2 minutes, shaking the pan every now and then. When they start to brown, pour them right into the jar of your blender (we’ll be adding more stuff to the blender later!). Cover the blender and pulse until ground, about 30 seconds to a minute.

Step 2

To the Instant Pot, add the chicken, onion, tomatillos, garlic, poblano pepper, jalapeño, Mexican oregano, chicken broth and 2 teaspoons of salt. Close the “vent” and set the pressure cooker to high and timer to 15 minutes.

Step 3

When the Instant Pot goes off, do a quick release. I like to cover the valve with a clean kitchen towel and flip it open using a wooden spoon’s handle. When there is no more pressure, remove the lid, opening it away from you.

Step 4

Remove the chicken and place on a cutting board. Place a strainer atop a big bowl, and pour the liquid through. Transfer all of the solids (the pepper, onion, tomatillos, etc.) to the blender, along with a cup of liquid (you can eyeball this measurement). Add the cilantro to the blender uncovered. It'll cool off a bit while we do the next step.

Step 5

Pour the strained broth back into the Instant Pot; and then add the hominy. Set the machine to the “saute” function and place the timer on 5 minutes. This will cook the hominy a bit while we blend up the green sauce and shred the chicken.

Step 6

Back to the blender! Allowing some steam to escape from the blender, process until very smooth, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Shred the chicken using two forks. By this time, the broth and hominy should be very warm. Add the chicken back to the Instant Pot, along with the remaining blender green sauce. Give it a big stir and adjust the salt to your liking. I added an additional 2 teaspoons of kosher salt.

Step 8

Divide amongst bowls and garnish with crispy chips, slices of avocado, radishes, jalapeño, sliced cabbage and/or diced onion.

Step 9

To a small skillet, set over medium-low heat, add the pumpkin seeds and a pinch of salt. Toast for about 2 minutes, shaking the pan every now and then. When they start to brown, pour them right into the jar of your blender (we’ll be adding more stuff to the blender later!). Cover the blender and pulse until ground, about 30 seconds to a minute.

Step 10

To a medium to large pot, set over medium-high heat, add the chicken, onion, tomatillos, garlic, poblano pepper, jalapeño, Mexican oregano, chicken broth and 2 teaspoons of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 30 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked and the tomatillos have softened.

Step 11

Remove the chicken and transfer to a cutting board. Place a strainer atop a big bowl, and pour the liquid through.

Step 12

Transfer all of the solids (the pepper, onion, tomatillos, etc.) to the blender, along with a cup of broth (you can eyeball this measurement). Add the cilantro to the blender.

Step 13

Pour the chicken broth back to the pot, along with the hominy and turn the flame to medium-heat. This will warm up the broth and cook the hominy a bit while we blend up the sauce and shred the chicken.

Step 14

Back to the blender, allowing some steam to escape from the blender, process until very smooth, about 2 minutes.

Step 15

Shred the chicken using two forks. By this time, the broth and hominy should be very warm. Add the chicken back to the pot, along with the remaining blender green sauce. Give it a big stir and adjust the salt to your liking. I added an additional 2 teaspoons.

Step 16

Divide amongst bowls and garnish with crispy chips, slices of avocado, radishes, jalapeño, sliced cabbage and/or diced onion.
