Spices permeate the entire dish - cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper - and hominy adds an authentic Southwestern accent to this chicken chili. Save a big chunk of time simply by using rotisserie chickens from the supermarket and canned chicken broth as the chili base.

I love the tropical taste of these chewy piña colada coconut macaroons. It's important to dice the pineapple very small so it does not overwhelm the other flavors in this recipe.
