A hearty and flavorful chicken chili with a touch of lime and a crunchy topping.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the onion to enhance its flavor.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onion from burning.
Stir in the hominy, beans, chicken broth, chicken breast, lime juice, cilantro, cumin, and black pepper.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces for quicker cooking.
Cover the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through.
Check the chicken for doneness by cutting into the thickest part.
Serve the chili topped with shredded cheeses, salsa, crushed tortilla chips, and fresh cilantro leaves.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
