- 1 1/2 chicken thighs
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 2 tsp oregano
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cups chicken stock

Instructions
- Preheat broiler. When hot, broil poblanos on a baking sheet until blackened, turning as needed, about 15 minutes.

- Cut chicken into 1- to 1 1/2-in. chunks and sprinkle with salt and 1 teaspoon of oregano. Heat oil in a 5- to 6-qt. pan over high heat. Brown half the chicken lightly, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer meat to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Reduce heat to medium-high. Add onion mixture and remaining 1 teaspoon of oregano to pan and sauté until onion is softened, 3 minutes. Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, microwave broth until steaming, about 3 minutes. Add ground chiles to pan and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds.
- Add broth, hominy, and chicken to pan. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer to blend flavors, 10 minutes.
