Chicken Cilantro Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 red onion, coarsely chopped
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 head garlic
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can hominy, drained
  • 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
  • 1 cube chicken bouillon
  • salt to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat, and saute the onion until tender. Place the chicken in the pot, and cook until lightly browned.
  2. Puree the cilantro, garlic, and 1/3 cup water in a blender or food processor. Mix into the pot with the chicken and onions. Cook and stir about 5 minutes, until mixed and heated through. Pour enough water into the pot to cover all ingredients.
