Chicken Menudo

I try to cook as much chicken as possible because I realized I’ve been cooking too much pork the past few months.   So this recipe is a chicken dish, Chicken Menudo.

Chicken Menudo

As I write this, I wonder what a Menudo is.  Wikipedia says:

Menudo, or pancita is a traditional Mexican soup, made with beef stomach in broth with a red chili pepper base. Usually, hominy, lime, chopped onions, and chopped cilantro are added, as well as crushed oregano and crushed red chili peppers.

I’m not sure if the description fits the dish as I used pineapple juice as broth for the Chicken Menudo.  If you followed this recipe, let me know if you like it!
