  3. Remove chicken from the Dutch oven and shred with two forks. Set aside.
  4. Pour remaining ingredients into a strainer over a large bowl. Place strained ingredients in a blender and transfer broth from the large bowl to the Dutch oven.
  5. Add cilantro and garlic to the blender along with 1 - 2 cups of broth. Puree until smooth, then season with salt and pepper.
  6. Carefully pour tomatillo puree into the Dutch oven and stir together with the broth. Add the hominy, chicken and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and season with additional salt and pepper.
  7. Serve with recommended garnishments and enjoy immediately.
