My first taste of posole was at a Kansas City Restaurant, Gram & Dun. This restaurant, and the dish, were an experience that I won’t forget. We sisters grew up eating hominy, so we’ve always liked it, but I’d never thought about using it as an ingredient in this type dish. After the Gram and Dunn meal, I set out to invent my own posole and this lightened up chicken version was born. I should also tell you that in my pasole recipe research, several sources site this Mexican style stew as a hangover remedy (just in case you ever need that information). At only 2 Weight Watchers Freestyle points per serving, you can afford to indulge a dish with these bold flavors. ~Tracy
