Chicken Pozole Verde (AIP) – POTG Test Kitchen

A traditional Pozole Verde is a no no on the Autoimmune Protocol, full of ingredients that you can’t have. But Chef Ann doesn’t let that stop her from creating an AIP version in the POTG Test Kitchen. She has outdone herself here with this recipe, just in time for Cinco de Mayo! You would swear that it was made with tomatillo’s and peppers (it has a little kick from the horseradish) but it is completely AIP. Chef Ann also uses chopped cauliflower to replace the hominy normally found in pozole.  Absolutely delicious, you should definitely make this at home!

Ingredients

1. 2 quarts chicken stock
2. 4 chicken breast halves on the bone
3. 1 pound kiwi fruit
4. ¼ cup lime juice
5. 1 small onion, quartered
6. 2 T. grated fresh horseradish
7. 4 large garlic cloves, minced
8. 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
9. 1 tablespoon oregano leaves
10. Sea salt
11. 1 tablespoon olive oil
12. 1 head cauliflower chopped into pea sized bits

Instructions

1. In a large heavy bottomed pan, bring the chicken stock to a boil.

With the machine on, add 1 cup of the cooking liquid and puree until smooth. Season the verde puree with salt.
5. In a large deep skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the verde puree and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.

7. Add the shredded chicken to the stew, season with salt and cook just until heated through.
8. Serve the pozole in deep bowls, with the lettuce, radishes, onion, avocado, coconut cream, and lime wedges at the table.
