Who this list is for
This list is for home cooks planning to make Mexican chicken pozole verde for a group of eight. If you want a hearty, flavorful soup with a bright tomatillo broth and plenty of fresh toppings, this checklist is for you. It works well for family gatherings, casual dinner parties, or anyone who wants to serve a traditional dish with all the right ingredients.
How to use this list
Start by checking your pantry and fridge for staples like dried oregano, garlic cloves, and low-sodium chicken broth. Then, shop for the main proteins and produce: boneless skinless chicken thighs, canned white hominy, tomatillos, poblano peppers, serrano chiles, and a yellow onion. Don’t forget the garnishes—fresh cilantro, green cabbage, radishes, and limes. Tostadas are for serving on the side. Use this list to gather everything before cooking, and set out the toppings separately so guests can build their own bowls.
Common mistakes
People often forget to buy enough hominy or skip the fresh garnishes, which are essential for authentic pozole. Don’t substitute green cabbage with iceberg lettuce; it won’t hold up in the broth. Avoid using pre-cooked chicken, as the flavor comes from simmering the thighs in the broth. Skipping tomatillos will change the color and taste of the dish, so don’t leave them out.
What is on this list

Before you go
