One Pot Chicken Pozole

One Pot Chicken Pozole

This vibrant, tangy Chicken Pozole Verde is your new go-to for effortless entertaining. Bursting with bold flavors from fresh tomatillos, pablonos, and herbs, it brings all the soul of traditional pozole without the usual all-day commitment.

By leaning on shredded rotisserie chicken and store-bought stock, it comes together in under an hour — no simmering whole chickens or washing a pile of pans required. It's all made in a single pot, making prep and cleanup a breeze. The result? A deeply flavorful, hearty stew that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen. Bonus: it’s even better the next day, making it a perfect make-ahead option for casual gatherings or cozy nights in.
