Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 30 ounces Hominy, canned and drained
- 6 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sauté for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Tent with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Add the drained hominy to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese, allowing it to melt and coat the hominy evenly. Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring until a creamy sauce forms.
Transfer the hominy mixture to a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. Arrange the sautéed chicken breasts on top.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy!
