Preparation
- Step 1
Grease an eight-quart oven-proof casserole. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Step 2
Heat the oil or fat in a heavy four-quart saucepan. Add the onion and saute over medium-low heat until golden. Stir in the jalapeno peppers and the cumin and saute another few minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and cook five minutes longer. Add the chicken and bring to a simmer.
- Step 3
Stir in cooked hominy with red chilies and cook till mixture simmers again. Season to taste with salt.
- Step 4
Spoon the mixture into the casserole. Top with the cheese. Bake in the oven about 30 minutes, until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese has melted and is beginning to brown. Serve at once. If desired, the casserole can be prepared in advance and set aside to be baked later. If it is not simmering just before being put in the oven, increase the baking time to about 45 minutes.

The dish was terrific and easy to make. Because I had to cook chicken specifically to use in this dish, I poached it in water to which I added the same spices that are in the "hominy with red chilies" recipe to boost the flavor.
To create more of a "one dish meal," I added baby spinach to the sauté.
It would be helpful if "1 recipe hominy with chilies" in the ingredient list here was a clickable link to the recipe.
