12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken thighs or breast halves

3 to 4 tsp. Mexican seasoning or chili powder

2 tsp. cooking oil or olive oil

1 red or yellow sweet pepper, cut into bite size pieces (3/4 C.)

2 14 1/2-ounce cans reduced-sodium or regular chicken broth

1 15-ounce can yellow hominy or black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained

Salsa, light dairy sour cream, and/or lime wedges (optional)

 

Rinse chicken; pat dry. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Sprinkle chicken with Mexican seasoning; toss to coat evenly. In a large saucepan cook and stir seasoned chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add sweet pepper; cook and stir about minute more or until chicken is no longer pink.

Carefully add broth and hominy. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 3 minutes or until heated through. If desired, serve with salsa, sour cream, and/or lime wedges.
