Shortcut Chicken Pozole Verde

Shortcut Chicken Pozole Verde

With a few shortcuts, I have created a recipe for chicken pozole verde that you can have on the table quick any night of the week. I took the help from a few store nought items to create the same flavor as a traditional chicken pozole verde, but this recipe can be ready in thirty minutes! Chicken pozole verde is a flavorful Mexican soup that my family loves and I created this easy weeknight version so that whenever the craving hits, I can cook it up fast.

Southern Style White Beans and Ham

There are many ways to cook white beans including soups, stews, salads and more, but one of my favorite ways to cook them is southern style with a smoky ham hock where they simmer all day. This method ensures the beans get filled with flavor and get nice and creamy and delicious. These beans could truly be a meal of their own, but I love to serve them up with cornbread and my favorite collard greens. This recipe for southern style white beans and ham is going to quickly become a new favorite recipe to make when you are craving some comfort food.
