Instructions

In 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, combine beer, bouillon base, cumin, 2 cups water, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Add chicken, tomatillos, garlic, onion, poblano, and cilantro and mix to combine. Cook, covered, until chicken is easily pulled apart, 4 to 5 hours on High or 6 to 7 hours on Low.

Remove and discard cilantro from slow cooker; then, using 2 forks, break chicken into smaller pieces. Add hominy and cook, covered, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in lime juice and serve with cilantro, avocado, and radishes if desired.
